I wanted to throw in my review of Microsoft Teams:
NOTE: I haven’t used this in a classroom setting, however if I were to teach another online class in the future, I would certainly use this app to communicate with students, at the least for one-on-one video conferencing.
My team began using this app because Skype For Business was no longer available for Mac. We now use this primarily to stay in contact – mostly by regular chat – throughout the day and to deliver progress reports, but we’ve also done a few video chat experiments. The quality has been pretty good so far.
Users can easily create “teams” with channels as well as just a general chat feature. Teams allows voice and video calls. The regular chat feature is nice because it allows text-formatting, attachments, links, etc. Something else I like is that users can go back and edit their posts so we’re no longer stuck looking lame because of a typo.
Finally, the fact that this is linked to our Office 365 account means everything works together. There is a collection of add-on apps that can be added for further functionality. Several of us have been using the phone app and it works great, too, even for video chatting. I have not used it for LARGE meetings, but I think instructors might like it for virtual office hours.
