Microsoft Teams - Slack Killer?

[James Falconer]

Not sure if you caught the announcement earlier today, but Microsoft has unveiled 'Microsoft Teams', a new Slack competitor aiming to make group collaboration fun and easy. Read more about it here.

Still a lot of details to come, but what's your gut reaction here? Is it going to live up to the hype? Should Slack be worried?

I don't think Slack needs to worry, since Teams requires Office 365.

Many of our volunteers probably don't pay for Office 365.

Teams requires Office 365 Enterprise. Those of us with Personal or Home accounts can't use it. I'm not about to pay for an Enterprise version of Office 365.

And at this stage teams has no way of adding outside your organisation (domain)..
