This might be elementary but does "Teams" show up in the App launcher? I enabled Teams from O365 settings this morning but I don't see anything pertaining to accessing the teams product.
I simply had to download the Mac / Windows ( https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads ) client and things worked. I never found a "web version" of Teams - but it probably exists somewhere. :)
And then it popped up randomly over an hour after closing it, happily informing me that I got the latest updates. Thank you, but no.
The web app refuses to work with anything but the very latest browsers. Why? Probably no reason at all. It also doesn’t work in IE, which is kind of sad. It also consumes humongous amounts of memory, as does the desktop app.
The avatars, blurry too, of course, are embedded as Base64 Data URIs. Why?
All in all this is yet another collaboration tool from Microsoft. It feels very rushed.
Since this was harder than you expect it to find on the main announcement page...the page you want to go to in order to actually access teams is here: https://teams.microsoft.com/ And the app downloads page is here: https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads I'm getting an error on my end though after following their activation steps so I need to figure out why it's doing that. (Shows me "errorCode=AdminUserLicenseNotPres…
Maybe you have to get your enterprise admin to enable it?
I have been saying for a while that Slack is not a defensible product and that their customer base is notoriously fickle.
As microsoft, google, and apple begin integrating chat more directly into the OS Slack will see its market share vanish.

I am the Enterprise Admin...that's what I'm confused about, since I already went through their simple 3 steps to get started video which was essentially just flipping a switch in the Office 365 Admin area. I expected it to work right away, but then couldn't see where the actual main page for Teams was, so I kept on looking and eventually found it, but even so, it didn't seem to allow me to login yet...right now I'm c…
This is exactly why Slack is not a defensible product. 1) The UI/interaction/UX can (and obviously will) be replicated, which has been slack's biggest value proposition. 2) There's no "stickiness" for companies. None of the data in chat is really a "system of record" and the switching costs are minimal. 3rd party bots/integrations are the only thing that really make it sticky for companies. 3) The IP isn't really all…
You forget the massive amount of plugins and conversational bots that you can plug into slack that are ready to use right now.
WHAT was Slack thinking writing this?! http://www.theverge.com/2016/11/2/13497766/slack-microsoft-t... Is this the worst ad in the history of advertising? HUGE publicity for Microsoft, with a schoolboy level of condescending, passive aggressive nonsense. Not sure what they were thinking with this one, especially with an opening line doing nothing but praising their competitor. The confidence(arrogance) is astounding.
The "do it with love" part is especially funny as their support doesn't actually give a shit what their customers think or feel. They'll happily give you absolute bottom-of-the-barrel effort canned copy-paste responses to carefully written and considered bug reports, indicating the agent neither actually read nor remotely understood what you were writing about. Slack doesn't have a box to stand on to tell others how…

Strange, I was very impressed with Slack support. After experiencing the train wreck that is Skype, I'm definitely not getting my hopes up for another Microsoft chat app.
I'm not saying that MS' support will be any better. Just that "you get an actual person to talk to AND they actually know a little AND might even help you if your issue is simple enough" doesn't quite make the grade for "treats customers with love".

What's even more amusing on their online posting, they have hidden responses: > The author has chosen not to show responses on this story. You can still respond by clicking the response bubble. So not only is the arrogance higher than ever, you can throw cowardly in there as well.
Haven't tested Teams yet, but very shrewd move by Microsoft. They lead in the productivity suite with Office/Skype/Sharepoint etc in enterprises and a slack competitor which tightly integrates all their services is a wonderful addition. As someone mentioned on this thread, they could have picked a better name "Let me microsoft team it to you" sounds weird.
"Post it on Teams" I don't think people say "I'll slack it to you" either.
