Rationale

Microsoft Teams is primarily a real-time video conferencing and collaboration platform, which differs from Loom's core asynchronous video messaging. However, it does offer screen sharing and video calling (camera recording) during live meetings. The platform also supports meeting recordings with transcripts, which aligns with 'video-transcripts'. While not its primary focus, it has features like file sharing and chat that enable collaboration, and it offers mobile app support and enterprise-level security. The 'basic-video-editing' is inferred from the mention of 'Video editing and design tools with Clipchamp' in higher-tier plans, which could include basic trimming. It does not explicitly focus on 'instant shared links' for asynchronous video messages in the same way Loom does, but meeting recordings can be shared. It lacks explicit features like 'viewer-analytics', 'video-comments', 'emoji-reactions', 'team-library', 'slack-integration', 'gmail-integration', 'custom-branding', 'password-protection', or 'api-access' specifically for asynchronous video messages as described for Loom.
