Since we’re using Teams here at OnMSFT, we were especially interested in the App Launcher, but we didn’t see the change as of yet.Tholfsen tells usthat it is still rolling out and it will take a little while. The addition of the App Launcher should make it easier for users to switch out to other Office 365 experiences like Outlook or OneDrive.

Microsoft has steadily improved on the Teams experience and is apparentlyworking on a free tierof the collaboration tool. Teams is also used in many classrooms and comes withassignments and grading featuresbuilt right in. There’s even aWindows 10 S version of the app, and Teams supports more than300 file type previews.
