You might be wondering why I choose Microsoft Teams over other popular platforms for our monthly family catch-ups. Simple: privacy.
Our calls are hosted through my paid Microsoft 365 account, which means our conversations stay strictly private. Unlike many free social apps that make money by analyzing your activity and selling your data to advertisers, Microsoft Teams doesn’t do that.
Ever talked to a friend on Facebook Messenger about buying a new pair of shoes, and suddenly every website you open or app you use starts showing you shoe commercials? That’s exactly what I’m trying to avoid. Because our meetings are hosted on a paid account, our calls are never scanned for advertising—so no creepy targeted ads following you around the internet, no weird spam, and zero cost for you. Just family, talking freely.
Here are the official download links for Microsoft Teams on mobile devices:

These links will take you directly to the app so you can install it and join our family chats with complete peace of mind.
