Microsoft Teams is the collaboration hub for UK organisations — chat, meetings, files, and apps in one workspace, tightly integrated with Microsoft 365. Teams' video meetings, channels, and SharePoint-backed files make it the default for UK companies already on Office. Free plan covers small teams; paid plans start at £3.80/user/month with Microsoft 365. Integrates with Word, Excel, Outlook, and 700+ apps. GDPR compliant with strong EU data residency. It's ubiquitous in UK corporates; startups often prefer Slack's lighter feel.
