Add Games to Microsoft Teams

There’s now a Games for Work addon for Microsoft Teams so you can either connect or waste time with your fellow staffers <g>.

Games app for Teams is a combination of a few well-known Microsoft Games:

  • Solitaire
  • Minesweeper
  • IceBreakers
  • Wordament
Source: Microsoft

Buried down in the footnotes of Microsoft’s announcement is an important limitation …

“Available for Microsoft Teams Enterprise and Education customers only”

Get Games for Teams from this link or search for ‘Games for Word’ in the Teams addon list.

Why?

According to Microsoft, games in Teams has “a crucial role in bringing people together”.

Another view is that Microsoft’s strategy seems to be throwing anything and everything at Teams including games, Clippy and even cookies!  It seems no excuse is too flimsy.
