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.
Microsoft Teams
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
If you need a workplace collaboration tool that integrates well with the entire suite of Microsoft productivity tools, Teams is what you want. Google Hangouts Chat is more specifically for video conferencing.
A more accurate comparison would be to compare Teams to Slack, and compare Hangouts Chat to Zoom. If your company is a Microsoft shop already, go with Teams. Otherwise Slack and Zoom.
The real question should be Microsoft Teams vs Slack. Hangout doesn't stand anywhere, it's not meant for collaboration; just for 1-on-1 or group chats. Even WhatsApp on Web will provide much much better functionalities (e.g Document sharing, and in-chat image viewer, basic formatting) (give you're okay with using WhatsApp for your work communications).
