Rationale

Microsoft Teams is a comprehensive collaboration platform that includes many features aligning with Loom's core offering. It explicitly mentions video and audio calls, screen sharing, and file sharing, which are foundational to asynchronous video communication. While not solely focused on asynchronous video like Loom, it provides the necessary tools for users to create and share video messages, collaborate on documents, and manage projects, fulfilling many of the 'must-have' and 'other' features. The app description highlights features like 'Video or audio call anyone directly in Teams or instantly convert a group chat to a call', 'screenshare', 'cloud storage to access shared documents and files', 'task lists', and 'Enterprise-level security and compliance'. Although it doesn't explicitly state 'instant shared links' for recordings in the same way Loom does, the ability to 'Set up a meeting within seconds and invite anyone by sharing a link or calendar invite' implies a similar functionality for sharing access to video content. The presence of chat, channels, and file sharing also supports the 'Team Library' concept, and the ability to 'send photos and videos in chats' implies a basic form of sharing recorded content. The app also mentions 'GIFs, emojis, and message animations' which aligns with emoji reactions, and 'organize shared content' which supports a team library. The 'Enterprise-level security and compliance' and 'control over your data' align with security and compliance features. The mobile app is explicitly stated as the source of the content.
