The main problem for Russian users is the departure of the application from the country. In March 2024, Softline representatives reported this. They reported that Microsoft would close access to 50 products, including Word, Excel, OneDrive and Teams.

They promised that the ban would not affect individuals - only government organizations and legal entities would not be able to use the platform. But the ban affected ordinary people too. The app cannot be paid for, and without a VPN you cannot even use the free version.

Let's look at what other shortcomings of Teams users have noted.

It is not possible to create communities through the desktop version of the platform
Communities in Teams are a platform for finding like-minded people around the world. It is a simple analogue of a social network. People can create interest groups, publish content in them, communicate and plan joint events with other users.

The problem is that creating and joining communities is only available on smartphones. Customers who use the app exclusively on Windows, Linux or mac OS are missing out on a useful social feature and a potential promotion channel.
