We ran a videoconference meeting in Microsoft Teams this morning and it went pretty well. At first it doesn't appear as slick as Zoom, but (to my mind) the automated video-captioning stole the show, accurately providing captions to a number of different speakers with quite different accents. One positive side-effect of the new work environment is that NRC has embraced a number of previously verboten technologies, and so for non-confidential work (which, frankly, is most of it) we've been working with things like Teams, Slack, Zoom and WebEx quite a bit. This is all being depicted as temporary, and it might be, but I think people will find it very hard to go back to the pre-cloud world.
