Microsoft has shared more information about the growth Microsoft Teams recorded last year, revealing that no less than 117 organizations have more than 100,000 users on the service.
2020 has been a crazy year for every one of us, and given the world entered a temporary workaround, many people started working remotely for obvious reasons. As a result, the adoption of Microsoft Teams skyrocketed last year, and Microsoft says no less than 60 million people use the service every day on mobile alone.
There are over 2,700 organizations with more than 10,000 users configured on Microsoft Teams.
“Teams is rapidly becoming the de facto unified communications platform of choice for every organization. New features like voice enabled channels create a more powerful and streamlined calling experience, and noise suppression and live captions with speaker attribution make meetings more accessible. At Accenture alone, audio conferencing on Teams has increased to over 1 billion minutes a month, as 85,000 employees use Teams to make external calls. And, this quarter, Lumen, formerly CenturyLink, rolled out Teams calling globally to 42,000 employees in just four weeks,” the company explains.

In addition, the Redmond-based software giant says the growth of Microsoft Teams would continue in 2021 as well, as several organizations have already announced their plans to adopt the service.
“The pandemic has shown the importance of empowering the 2 billion frontline workers around the world with the right technology. 390,000 associates at the Home Depot will use Microsoft 365, including Yammer, to foster connection and engagement across the organization. And more than 500,000 employees at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, including healthcare workers, use Teams to collaborate,” Microsoft said.
Earlier this year, Microsoft revealed it reached 115 million daily active users after an impressive growth throughout 2020, with two months alone generating the boost the company originally expected in two years.
