Microsoft today announced its fourth-quarter earnings for 4. The company appears to have surpassed analysts' estimates with revenue of $ 2021 billion, up 46,2% from the same period last year.
The development was supported by strong performance on all cloud services. For the entire fiscal year 2021, the company had revenue of $ 168,1 billion, up 18% year-on-year.
As usual, the CEO Satya Nadella held a webcast to highlight the highlights and provide more information on the items,. Microsoft's Corporate Vice President of Communications, Frank Shaw, gave the same information on Twitter at the same time.
@MicrosoftTeams usage has never been higher. We have nearly 250 million monthly active users as people use Teams each day to communicate, collaborate, and co-author content across work, life, and learning.

During this webcast, Satya Nadella announced that the platform Teams now has approximately 250 million monthly active users (MAUs). The last time the company gave a number for the service, it put the number of daily active users at 145 million.
Going to MAU significantly increases the numbers, and the company did not provide information on how this number is verified. It should be noted, however, that the Teams service is combined with commercial Office subscriptions, and the increase in Office subscriptions helps to increase the use of the Teams application.
In addition to a quarter of a billion, the company reported that there are approximately 80 million active Teams phone users, with calls “που ξεπερνούν το 1 δισεκατομμύριο” σε έναν μόνο μήνα. Όσον αφορά την υιοθέτηση της υπηρεσίας από μεγάλους οργανισμούς, η εταιρεία αναφέρει ότι 124 Companies had more than 100.000 users on Teams, adding that about 3.000 "have over 10.000 users".
The rapid increase in the use of the Teams application is also helped by the constantly growing number of its subscribers Microsoft 365.
Microsoft is of course trying to extend the Teams app beyond its established business base by adding consumer features to the product.
Microsoft now integrates a Teams chat button on the Windows 11 taskbar hoping to get more people to try out its application.
