Microsoft Teams new chat and channels AMA (Ask Microsoft Anything)
Event details
Does Microsoft ever plan on getting document management parity in Teams and finally getting rid of the need for users to "Open in SharePoint"?
Maybe Teams should be updated to use SharePoint Embedded instead of a connected SharePoint Team site.
Allowing users to work with files in SharePoint and/or Teams ultimately diminishes the experience in Teams...and is probably part of what has lead to this change...people seem to think Group Chats are a better option than Teams Channels.
One big thing to me that set Teams apart from Slack, since the beginning of Teams, was that Teams had "native" file storage...where Slack did not.
In the beginning, it seemed like Teams was going to be a replacement for SharePoint Team Sites. And this made a lot of sense, Teams would offer a better collaborative experience along with document management all in one application.
Teams would be a great replacement for example for corporate Departments that had been using SharePoint Team sites.
The problem with this is that Microsoft never commit to removing the Teams UI reliance on SharePoint. Over the years, Teams users still struggle to manage documents in Teams vs having to go to the connected SharePoint site to do certain tasks.
What functionality are you experiencing users requiring going to SharePoint Team Site for?
