Imagine you're shopping for a new book online. Before making a purchase, you probably look at the reviews and ratings to see what others think about it. This feedback helps you decide whether the book is worth your time and money. Similarly, Microsoft Teams is introducing a feature that allows users to see app ratings directly within the app store in Teams.

Think of Teams as a bustling marketplace where different apps are like various shops offering tools to enhance your work experience. Previously, if you wanted to know how good an app was, you might have had to search for reviews elsewhere. Now, just like seeing star ratings for a book while browsing, you can view app ratings right where you find the app in Teams. This makes it easier to choose the right tools without leaving the platform.

For managers and HR staff, this means you can quickly assess the quality and usefulness of apps your team might want to use. It's like having a trusted friend's opinion at your fingertips, helping you make informed decisions about which apps could best support your team's productivity and collaboration efforts. This feature streamlines the process of evaluating and selecting apps, saving time and potentially improving the overall efficiency of your team.
