Microsoft Teams 270 million MAU milestone

Microsoft Teams Monthly Active Users (MAU) have surged to 270 million, CEO Satya Nadella has revealed.

Nadella was speaking as Microsoft reported its quarterly earnings, with revenue climbing 20 percent to $51.7bn. Operating income grew 24 percent to $22.2bn.

The chief exec hailed Teams as the centre of Microsoft’s “digital fabric”.

He did not give updated figures for Phone MAU, but said it is now used by 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies.

Nadella also revealed that the number of active Teams Rooms devices more than doubled year on year in the quarter.

“Teams is rapidly becoming the standard for unified communications,” he declared on an earnings call. “We’re seeing Teams growth in every segment.”

Microsoft last gave Teams usage figures in July, at 250 million MAU.

The CEO gave a brief update on the latest Teams offering, Teams Essentials, which decouples the platform from the wider Microsoft 365 portfolio and is targeted at small businesses.

“It’s early days but we’re already encouraged by strong demand,” he added.

Nadella also spoke of the role Teams will play in the emergence of the metaverse – particularly how it will soon be able to host immersive meetings using Microsoft Mesh technology.

He outlined that these experiences will first start off with meetings on 2D screens before being expanded to VR and AR headsets, as well as gaming.

Microsoft reported business growth across all of the business lines for which it breaks out numbers, including Office 365, Dynamics, LinkedIn, Windows, Xbox and Surface.

Azure and cloud services, which is watched closely by investors, saw revenue rise 46 percent year on year (Microsoft does not disclose Azure’s revenue).
