Microsoft Releases the Free Version of Microsoft Teams to Compete with Slack

Microsoft Corporation announced that they will release a free version of Microsoft Teams to compete with Slack, a free app pioneer that allows users to try before upgrading them to a paid version.

This free version of Teams is intent to attract small firms and groups of coworkers who don’t want to pay for the commercial Office 365 subscriptions, at least initially.

What does the free version of Microsoft Teams offer?

The free version is available in 40 languages and it supports up to 300 users, unlimited chat messages and search capabilities with 10GB of team file storage plus 2GB per person for personal storage.

The free version also offers:

• Built-in audio and video conferencing for individuals, groups, and full teams
• Integrated Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote apps
• Unlimited integrations with more than 140 business apps such as Evernote and Trello
