MS Teams Lite

Hi All,

 

Will Microsoft be looking at releasing an MS Teams Lite version for business?

Our organisation use Remote Desktop servers, so we don't use any of the audio/visual aspects of teams, literally only for collaboration, and it's.....to be honest, one of the most memory CPU hungry applications we use; to the point, we're looking at something like Slack as an alternative.

 

A lite version just used for chatting/collab would be amazing.

 

Many thanks,

Shaun

    Unfortunately, the Teams application consumes a lot of system resources, I really question whether I need it to receive and send a few messages a day. Maybe it would be nice to have a lite version or mode.

      KadirErdeniz would ve nice to develope a Skype like client of MS Teams using the Graph api with delegated permissions having the dame ampunt of memory usage than Skype client,

      do you know ir Someone Is already developing something like this?

  • Would definitely love to have this. Honestly, of the 1.5+ years with team, have never found a use case for anything except text, calls, and screen sharing. Whatever SFB (Skype for business) had was more than enough for us. So, a team's lite version is definitely something that our entire organization would be looking forward.
