What is Teams Chat in Windows 11?
Microsoft has already started rolling out Teams Chat for some users running the latest version of Windows 11 Dev Preview. The chat integration in teams is very nice. It is natively compatible with the operating system, so users can get features like direct replies through the notification banner or notification center. Teams Chat is also in the middle of the system tray for users.
With the Teams chat application, Microsoft enables users to connect with anyone anytime, anywhere, regardless of their platform, as the Teams application is available for all desktop and mobile platforms.
Ultimately, companies should use Microsoft Teams because it is very easy to use and can make the working environment easier between remote users or within large companies. Projects, productions and other business projects can benefit from Microsoft Teams.
