However, those may not be viewed as direct competitors to Teams. Looking to the wider communications market, Zoom has passed 100 million users and Google Meet has passed 50 million. Furthermore, Teams currently has a higher rating on the Android platform with 4.4 out of 5. In comparison, Slack is still slotted into the 10+ million category.
