Yesterday Microsoft announced its quarterly results and that always leaves us with the most interesting data. Between other things that Teams has more than 270 million active monthly users. The Microsoft service has managed to incorporate 20 million more people in the second half of 2021. This represents significant growth and that Teams is here to stay.
Microsoft Teams already has 270 million active users
There were people who indicated at the end of last year that Teams usage was declining. Part of this is due to the law of large numbers. But Microsoft’s decision last year to change how you publicly disclose your Teams usage numbersgoing from daily active users to monthly active users, indicated to some company watchers that slowing growth could be the reason for the change in metrics.
The Redmond giant has long been looking to get out of its comfort zone and for Teams to grow in consumer areas. Let us remember that he integrated a Teams chat button on the Windows 11 taskbar in the hope that more people will try the consumption capabilities of Teams. It has also included a new standalone version of Teams Essentials for small and medium businesses.
It is clear that Microsoft wants to bet on Teams in new areas and the most appealing sector is the consumer sector. Perhaps the Redmond giant will surprise us by trying to bring its messaging app to the gaming sector and compete with Discord. Be that as it may, this app has some surprising numbers and we hope it continues to grow, but recovering the agility of the application. It is essential for people that the app moves quickly and without any type of problem, rather than offering an infinite number of options that are not always used.
