New versions of ChatGPT work well with the open internet. The New Plugin Marketplace helps us consume data from third-party sources that site back to that source. In addition, ChatGPT has plugins for core Microsoft Stack products, such as Microsoft Teams & Microsoft Excel

Needs adviceonMicrosoft TeamsMicrosoft Teams

I need help taking a look at this solution for my company, which is looking into consolidating communications into a single platform. We want broad use across other companies and need the solution to have clear video-sharing and whiteboarding capabilities. While I understand that Microsoft Teams is bundled into my Microsoft subscription I have also heard that usability is questionable for agile organizations such as ours.

We use Microsoft Teams as our primary workplace collaboration tool. It enables our team to work remotely and still collaborate on projects - with integration to Jira and Confluence, the tool enables us to create War Rooms when problems occur and also provides information-sharing capabilities. Replaced HipChat.
