​Introduction

Microsoft Teams or MS Teams is a popular collaboration application with in-built screen-sharing and video-conferencing capabilities.

When you integrate Teams with Vtiger CRM, you can easily create and insert meeting links when sending emails, chat replies, or sending meeting invites. With the Calculus AI add-on, your recordings can also be automatically analyzed for sentiment, actions, and coaching. 

You can also add Vtiger screens and access CRM records from MS Teams channels and personal tabs.
