14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has recently announced that the Community Mentors Application, which was already available in Microsoft Teams on Android and iPhone, is now live on the desktop as well.
The community mentors allows users to obtain real-time guidance and mentorship, build customized networks, discover new connections, and activate new members, all from the familiar interface provided by Microsoft Teams.
“Technology can be used to make mentorship more accessible, efficient, and effective, but ultimately, more human. The community mentors application was first introduced three years ago as a mobile app — back when we thought finding a mentor should be as easy as calling a ridesharing service. Today, with many of us spending our days collaborating in Microsoft Teams on our desktop, we’re excited to announce the new Community Mentors Application for Teams,” Microsoft explains.

We now have a downloadable activity report that shows the number of mentorships you have been involved with as well as the feedback from your mentee and mentors. You can locate this report under your profile,” it says.
Microsoft Teams is one of the Microsoft services whose adoption skyrocketed in the last 12 months or so, and it’s all because plenty of people moved from the typical corporate offices to new working environment set in the safety of their own homes.
Because everybody needed a way to stay productive, the number of Microsoft Teams users increased at a super fast pace, with the most recent statistics indicating that Microsoft recorded 115 million daily active users in late 2020.
