In addition to free all-day calls, Microsoft Teams upgrades with the option to create a team chat with up to 250 people and view up to 49 participants together in virtual conversations. Microsoft teams are ready to catch Zoom users, according to The Verge, by initiating a new video call option all day.
“To help you stay connected in the coming months, you will be able to meet for 24 hours with up to 300 participants until it is specified,” the company said.
