Microsoft Teams new in Office 2021

So far, the software “Skype” for video conferencing was part of the standard equipment of Office 2019 and the previous versions. With Microsoft Office 2021 Home & Business for Mac, however, this is a thing of the past. For some time now, Microsoft has been encouraging users to switch to the “Teams” alternative, which is now becoming an integral part of the Office suite. The Skype for Business Client is therefore no longer included, but has not been deleted without replacement. Video conferences with large groups, surveys among all participants or the extended sharing of different files are available as practical features in the revised version of Microsoft Teams.
