As we move our classes online, you may wonder, "What is the difference between Teams and Zoom?"
ESU offers a plethora of resources for conferencing and communications, and today we'll be comparing two: Microsoft Teams and Zoom. Both software are great when it comes to online collaboration, but they both have their strengths and weaknesses.
Both Microsoft Teams and Zoom offer individual and group communication through messaging and video conferencing. This can come in handy when working on group projects, online instruction, presentations, or traditional face-to-face meetings. So the question is, when does one work better than the other?
Microsoft Teams:
- Quick Messaging
- File Sharing
- Push-Notification Instant Messaging
- Text-Based Group chats
Zoom:
- Massive Video-Calling
- Online Classroom
- Phone Dial-In Service
- Screen Casting
- Screen Recording
Both services offer a mobile app as well, which works best with iPhones.
