Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is a video-conferencing and collaboration product from Microsoft, positioned within the company's broader application-layer bundling strategy alongside tools like Power BI and Azure . In 2024, Microsoft extended its Copilot generative-AI suite into Teams through Team Copilot, which manages meeting agendas and collaborative note-taking during calls; the same integration reaches Microsoft's Loop and Planner platforms for task creation, deadline tracking, and team notifications . The product has also picked up lighter consumer-facing features, such as custom emoji support added in mid-2024 . Separately, the name surfaces in the Chinese startup ecosystem: Genspark, an AI company backed by ZhenFund, launched its own product called Teams as part of its AI Workspace 3.0 rollout in early 2026—distinct from Microsoft's offering .
