Microsoft Teams had last year emerged as one of the most widely-used platforms for virtual meetings and the likes. With the COVID-19 pandemic going on for over a year now, Microsoft Teams has also grown multi-fold in terms of its user base. Microsoft Teams Now 45 Million Daily Active Users across the world. This is a 26 percent increase in user base since the company last reported a 115 million user base in October 2020. Microsoft Teams has registered an impressive increase in the user base despite the tough competition that arises from competitors like Google Meet, Zoom, and other such video conferencing software.
To put the growth into perspective, Microsoft Teams had about 32 million active users at the start of the pandemic last year, which later jumped to 75 million as people started working from home amid the rising COVID-19 cases across the world. Microsoft Teams’ corporate vice president Jeff Teper, in a tweet announcing the 145 million user base, thanked customers, partners, and his team that helped the platform reach 145 million users.

Now, it is difficult to compare these numbers with those of rivals like Zoom and Google Meet. Google and Zoom do not reveal daily active users and have found to count a single user multiple times if they participate in different meetings during the day. Zoom had last year said that it has about 300 million daily meeting participants, while Google had said that its Meet has about 100 million daily active participants in April 2020.
