Microsoft Teams: Games for Work

We can’t quite work out who needs to know! However, you can now add games to your Microsoft Teams meetings with Games for Work from Microsoft!

Once, in Microsoft Teams, select “Apps” on the right hand panel.

Search “Games for Work”, and the then will appear. Select “Games for Work”. Hit the “Add to meeting” button, it will then ask you to select the meeting that you would like the app to be added to.

It will now appear!

You will have four games to select from:

1. Solitaire
2. Minesweeper
3. Wordament
4. IceBreakers

We can’t work out the value of the first three games for a meeting, being that they are traditionally 1-player games (Microsoft has marked them as 1-8 or 1-250 player games 😕).

However, we have found IceBreakers to quite interesting. It can be a great way to start a meeting, start discussion without any stress. This would be particularly useful for interview situations!

Note that Games for Work is only available for Microsoft Teams Enterprise and Education customers only; if not available in your Teams app, reach out to your IT admin for support.
