I like having a dedicated link to use to log in just for the Teams gathering. There is no questioning whether or not you logged into the correct one. I also appreciate that there are choices for the background and that the settings are simple to use.

Once we have the link, accessing Teams is simple and secure because it is very tailored to the designated meeting.

Everything is made simpler because there are fewer apps to remember to switch between when using a single product that can accomplish this.
