Microsoft today announced a new opportunity for Teams developers in the form of “collaborative apps”. Underlining the fact that Teams was built “with the very purpose of enabling collaboration”, Microsoft said this created a net new creative & economic opportunity for developers to build the next generation of apps where collaboration was at the core. With collaborative apps, end users can work with others to complete their projects at any time, from anywhere, & stay in the flow of work without needing to switch across multiple apps & data. And with Fluid components, end-users can create live, collaborative experiences that can be edited in real-time & shared across Teams & Office apps, claimed Microsoft.
Microsoft launches new tools for Teams developers – TechCrunch
At its (virtual) Build conference today, Microsoft launched a number of new features, tools and services for developers who want to integrate their services with Teams, the company’s Slack competitor. It’s no secret that Microsoft basically looks at Teams, which now has about 145 million daily active users, as the new hub for employees to get work done, so it’s no surprise that it wants third-party developers to bring their services right to Teams as well.
