> 1. Teams automatically creates a chat group for every Teams calendar event. This can include external attendees.
This happens in Zoom as well, without the extra Teams downside of external attendees being 4th class citizens.
> 2. Teams is useful for chat & meetings, but Teams spaces are hugely helpful as document repositories, too, and it's additionally easy to add things like Gantt charts and other enriched content types through add-ins.
This is really simple in demos, but tends towards sharing documents via email again (for external attendees) or growing the channel size massively (for internals who need the documents but aren't obviously needed in the team).
I does also help propagate the other "elephant in the room" problem M365 users face, which is document version control. Since people are constantly sharing actual files -- vs symlinks as with Google Workspace -- nobody ever really knows who has the canonical version of whatever. This is solved in regulated industries with "add-ons" (it's a huge stretch to call it that) like Veeva Vault that enforce formal document control workflows, but it doesn't help normal business users at all.
