Teams is one of the most popular product around the world these days especially lots of company or school using it for online learning or home office. However, no matter how power the solution you using but there must be deficiencies compare with the others. Just like as we use Teams as our online learning during these days, but some school also prefer to using Zoom for online learning.

Noted: Base on my test, integrate Zoom with Teams is free, If I got the new version from Sandra, I will update on my article.
