During the latest Microsoft earnings call, Satya Nadella, chairman and CEO, announced, “We are nearly 250 million monthly active users as people use Teams each day to communicate, collaborate, and [share] content.” Nadella further noted, “We have nearly 80 million monthly active Teams Phones users.” These are impressive large numbers, but what do they mean for Microsoft Teams now and for the future?
Impressive Growth
The growth of Microsoft Teams has been noteworthy. First launched in November 2016, Teams grew to 13 million daily active users (DAU) by July 2019 and then to 145 million DAU by April 2021. The trajectory has clearly been onward and upward.
