Microsoft recently celebrated the third anniversary of Microsoft Teams, collaboration software that is the hub for teamwork and group chat in Office 365.

Due to the recent coronavirus outbreak, Microsoft saw an unprecedented spike in Teams usage, and Teams now have more than 44 million daily users, a figure that has grown by 12 million in just the last seven days. And those users have generated over 900 million meetings and calling minutes on Teams each day this week.

Until now, Teams were used only by enterprise and SMB users. Today, Microsoft announced the consumer edition of Microsoft Teams.

Instead of relying on ad-supported chat services such as Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and others, Microsoft is now proposing Microsoft 365 users (http://www.windows10newsinfo.com/smf/index.php/topic,38005.0.html) to use Teams consumer edition for their everyday communication with family and friends. Microsoft also highlighted some new consumer-focused features that are coming to Teams for Life, read about it below.

Teams consumer edition will be available later this year.
