One of the keys to Microsoft’s success in recent years has been the steadily rising adoption of its Office 365<\/strong><\/a> subscription service – Under the leadership of Satya Nadella, the focus has been on choosing to improve Microsoft products and<\/span> remake Office apps into a subscription company where customers rent rather than buy the software. Today, one out of every five corporate employees uses a version of Office<\/span> cloud service and the Microsoft 365 service<\/span> is the most widely used cloud service by user count and market share<\/span> on Windows and Mac.<\/p>\n

More and more companies have been working online with many people working from home during the COVID-19 outbreak, connecting in real time through video conferencing apps. Microsoft has announced that Microsoft Teams now has 75 million daily active users in the latest usage report<\/span>. The company has seen an increase of 70% in its daily active users since March 2020 where it had around 44 million daily users. Teams has only been available for a few years to replace the Skype for Business application and can be easily added to an existing Office 365 license or Microsoft account. This has lead to Teams becoming one of the fastest growing Microsoft 365 apps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Microsoft Teams user activity skyrocketed during the lockdown, reaching 44 million active users by March 2020 and by April had amounted 75 million users, surpassing Zoom from February to June.<\/p>\n

Whether those new users stayed is unknown, as Microsoft hasn\u2019t provided Teams revenue statistics. Since April, Teams has been silent on user statistics, indicating that April may have been the peak month for usage data.<\/p>\n

Microsoft has also been sheepish about how many of those new users \u2013 the majority of which may have been on the Office 365 home<\/span> free version or using a free trial \u2013\u00a0 have turned into paying subscribers of the Microsoft 365 service<\/span>.<\/p>\n
