Introducing Microsoft Games for Work App inside Microsoft Teams
Believe it or not playing games with coworkers actually has the ability to help build relationships and foster collaboration.
You may be thinking – no, games are a distraction but believe it the benefits are huge.
In fact, according to a study by Brigham Young University, teams who played short video games together were 20% more productive than those who participated in more traditional team-building activities.
“Over 3 billion people around the world play games, serving a crucial role in bringing people together – especially during these last few years,” said Jill Braff, General Manager of Integrations and Casual Games, Microsoft. “Games promote creativity, collaboration and communication in powerful and unique ways, and we can’t wait to see the how the Games for Work app on Microsoft Teams inspires productivity and helps foster connections in the workplace.”
The Games for Work app integrates with Microsoft teams – simply add this to your next Microsoft Teams meeting. Choose from a selection of classic games including Microsoft Minesweeper, Solitaire, Icebreakers, and Wordament—all easy to play in quick, interactive, and multi-player versions (which range from 2 to 250 players).
The Games for Work app is now available for Microsoft Teams Enterprise customers only.
