Video Tutorial: How To Use The Microsoft Teams Games For Work App
Microsoft recently added the ability to https://youtu.be/JxKLNVRtIJI. In this Microsoft Teams https://youtu.be/JxKLNVRtIJI, I will demonstrate how to use the Microsoft Teams Games For Work app. This app can be added to MS Teams meetings and allows participants to play from one of four games (at the time of release): Microsoft Solitaire, Microsoft Minesweeper, Wordament and IceBreakers. Note that you cannot use this app outside of meetings (i.e. you cannot play games directly in the MS Teams app) and each game supports 1-250 players. The app can also be used on the Microsoft Teams mobile application and is mobile responsive meaning meeting participants joining from their mobile device can also participate in the games. Lastly, the app can also be used in Microsoft Team meeting breakout rooms.
To add the Games For Work App to a Microsoft Teams meeting:
- Click the “+ Add An App” button
- Search for and select “Games For Work”
What are you thoughts about this app?

Hi everyone 👋
Great tutorial! The Games for Work app brings engaging classics like Solitaire, Minesweeper, Wordament, and IceBreakers into Teams meetings—even in breakout rooms—to help energize your team and drive participation.(techcommunity.microsoft.com)
💡 Pro Tips:
- Schedule game time in advance and follow it with a quick poll or discussion prompt to gather feedback and reflections.
- Use Microsoft Power Automate to send automated follow-up messages or incentives like recognition stickers or leaderboards to boost engagement.

Would love to hear how other users are integrating these games using tools like Polly or Teams bots!

Hello, are you still working on development and updates? What if we added something dynamic and exciting, like something from the world of casinos - like https://offerluxcasino.com/jogos/dados? I think it would be really cool and fun, this is not just solitaire!
- Is this feature still available, I can't find it.
If you’re looking for an alternative, try GUUL—it’s available in the Teams app list with a bunch of multiplayer games like chess, UNO, word puzzles, card games, and more. You can play them during meetings. Definitely worth a look if you miss having games in Teams! https://guul.games/microsoft-teams
