有大量适用于Windows 10的免费团队聊天软件，但如果您与团队一起工作，则只需要解决一个即可。在本文中，我们将介绍可用的最佳选项，并分享为什么每个选项可能对您和您的基于团队的项目有用。
请记住，本文中提到的所有软件通常被公众认为是“好”软件，具有全方位的文件共享、桌面/移动和基于 Web 的应用程序、聊天日志、团队会议和协作功能. 我们将专注于每个人之间的不同之处。
微软团队
Microsoft Teams 是免费的，但通过 Office 365 订阅，您将通过 OneDrive 获得 Office 集成和更多存储空间。(Microsoft Teams is free, but with an Office 365 subscription you’ll get Office integration and more storage via OneDrive.)
我们将从第一个以 Windows 为中心的团队聊天软件开始，以祝福Windows 10。Microsoft Teams在其底层提供了很多功能，值得庆幸的是它可以免费使用。以下是您使用Microsoft Teams免费版获得的内容的快速概览。
- 无限的聊天消息和搜索
- 群组视频/音频通话
- 10 GB 团队存储空间和每人 2 GB 额外空间
- 与 Office Online 集成
- 更多第三方集成包括Evernote和Trello
- 必要时将客人添加到聊天中
如果您的团队已经投入到Office生态系统中，Microsoft Teams将是首选。可以轻松地免费建立一个团队，然后直接在Microsoft Teams中共享和编辑文档。
Office 365集成很容易在Microsoft Teams(Microsoft Teams)中脱颖而出，而且很难找到适用于Windows 10的更注重生产力的团队软件。
Microsoft Teams中的另一个不错的功能是访客功能。与团队外部人员共享聊天或视频/语音通话的限时链接变得非常容易。
客人获得有限的访问和共享功能。如果需要，您可以随时将个人添加到您的团队中，以便他们可以访问所有文件和文档。Microsoft Teams有一个独立的桌面应用程序以及一个更轻薄的基于 Web 的变体。
松弛
Slack
is free, but plans from $8/month add unlimited message/file tracking and more.
如果您有一个包含多个轨道的项目，并且希望通过文本使所有内容保持最新，那么Slack就是您的最佳选择。
Slack已轻松成为市场上最受欢迎的免费团队聊天选项之一。Slack如此受欢迎的原因有很多。下面提供了一个快速概述。
- 强大的共享文件搜索（搜索(Search)所有消息和文件）
- 可按频道组织的对话和主题
- 语音和视频通话也可在逐个频道的基础上使用
- 广泛的第三方应用程序支持（从体式到缩放以及介于两者之间的所有内容）
- 强大的机器人可供下载或创建
Slack上我最喜欢的功能之一是搜索系统。当您在一个项目中有正在进行的任务时，很容易丢失重要的文件或消息。使用搜索功能，您可以在几秒钟内找到任何东西。由于支持机器人和第三方应用程序， Slack(Slack)还可以定制为适合您的方式。
Slack机器人尤其引起了我的兴趣。例如，像Diggbot和GrowthBot这样的机器人可以帮助您找到热门内容或主题。或者Eventbot 日历(Eventbot Calendar)呢？
有了这个，您可以使用文本命令轻松设置会议或日期提醒。有很多可供选择，如果您无法完全找到您所追求的，开发工具随时可供您创建自己的机器人。
不和谐
Discord
is entirely free – they have special features aimed at gamers for $9.99 a
month, but no app functionality is restricted for free users.
Discord在许多方面与(Discord)Slack有相似之处。您拥有相同的多轨渠道支持，并且有数十种机器人和应用程序集成可用。不过， Discord(Discord)确实存在一些差异。让我们在下面对这些进行简要概述。
- 支持“始终在线”语音通道和文本通道
- 易于(Easy)集成机器人和应用程序以获得更多功能
- 向公众开放渠道
- 创建(Create)用户组并根据组赋予不同的权限
Discord更适合更自由流畅的对话。您可以创建永久语音通道，用户可以在其中随时自由连接和断开连接。如果您是那种喜欢自发地互相反弹而不是在特定时间安排会议的团队，那么Discord语音频道将是完美的选择。
但是，与您的团队成员的互动并不仅仅停留在语音上。您也可以设置文本频道，并为您提供一个帐户，您可以在其中向其他用户发送私人消息。
我真正喜欢Discord的另一件事是它能够将事情公之于众。很容易创建供公众访问的频道，然后创建仅供工作人员使用的频道。这种特殊的设置对于依赖公众反馈的面向公众的团队可能很有用。例如，Discord非常适合那些在移动应用程序或不断发展的视频游戏中寻求用户反馈的人。
最后，Discord允许您为每个用户分配一个“等级”或将他们放入某个组。然后，您可以为每个组设置权限。当您需要授予项目的高级成员访问房间但不希望其他人访问它时，这很有用。
谷歌环聊
Google Hangouts Chat costs $5 per user for 30GB storage, or $10 per user for unlimited storage. Alternatively, Classic Hangouts is available for free, but will be retired soon.
但是，您必须付费才能将其全部集成到Gmail之外的一个独立聊天软件应用程序中，称为Google
Hangouts Chat。如果您想要具有更多功能的核心Google体验，
Google Hangouts Chat可能适合您。以下是一些关键功能。
- 专用于不同任务的虚拟房间
- 每个房间支持 8,000 名成员
- 轻松上传和分享来自其他Google应用的任何内容
- 直接内置于Hangouts Chat中的强大搜索功能(Hangouts Chat)
- 与Gmail(Gmail)内置的环聊(Hangouts)应用兼容
Google Hangouts Chat进一步将所有Google应用程序集成到一个系统中。您可以轻松设置日历提醒、创建文档、Google电子表格以及设置环聊(Hangouts)语音通话会议。它非常适合那些经常通过手机与团队联系的人，因为您可以通过应用商店访问所有Google套件应用。(Google)
我有点担心Google多久更换一次
他们的协作软件，但无论 Hangouts Chat 是留下还是消失，核心Google Drive和G Suite软件仍然是其他基于云的存储选项的有力竞争者。

Best Free Team Chat Software for Windows 10
Therе’s an abundance of free team chat
software for Wіndows 10, but if you arе working with a team, you’ll need to
settle with just one. In this article, we take a look at the best optionѕ
available and share why еach option may be useful for you and your team based
projects.
Keep in mind that all of the software mentioned in this article is generally considered by the public to be ‘good’ software, with the full range of file sharing, desktop/mobile and web based apps, chat logs, team conferencing, and collaboration features. We’ll be focusing on how each one differs from one another.
Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is free, but with an Office 365 subscription you’ll get Office integration and more storage via OneDrive.
We’ll start with the first Windows-centric team chat software to bless Windows 10. Microsoft Teams has a lot of functionality available under its hood and thankfully it’s free to use. Here is a quick overview of what you get with the Microsoft Teams free version.
- Unlimited chat messages and search
- Video/audio calling for groups
- 10 GB team storage and 2 GB extra
per person
- Integrated with Office Online
- More third party integrations
include Evernote and Trello
- Add guests to chats when necessary
If your team is already invested into the Office ecosystem, Microsoft Teams will be the first best choice. It’s easy to set up a team for free and then share and edit documents right from within Microsoft Teams.
The Office 365 integration is easily where Microsoft Teams stands out, and it’s hard to find a more productivity-focused team software for Windows 10.
Another nice feature found in Microsoft Teams is the guest functionality. It becomes very easy to share limited time links to chats or video/voice calls to those outside of your team.
Guests get limited access and sharing capabilities. If needed, you can add individuals to your team at any point so that they can get access to all files and documents. Microsoft Teams has a standalone desktop app as well as a slimmer web based variant.
Slack
Slack
is free, but plans from $8/month add unlimited message/file tracking and more.
If you have a project that has multiple tracks
and prefer to keep everything up to date via text, Slack is the place for you.
Slack has easily become one of the most popular free team chat options on the
market. There are many reasons why Slack has seen such popularity. A quick
overview has been provided below.
- Powerful shared file search
(Search all messages and files)
- Conversations and topics
organizable by channel
- Voice and video call also
available on a channel by channel basis
- Extensive third party app support
(From asana to zoom and everything in between)
- Powerful bots available for
download or creation
One of my favorite features on Slack is the
search system. When you have ongoing tasks within one project, it becomes very
easy to lose important files or messages. With the search feature, you can
track down anything within seconds. Slack is also geared up to be customizable
to a way that suits you thanks to support bots and third party apps.
The Slack bots, in particular, take my interest. For example, bots like Diggbot and GrowthBot can help you to find trending content or topics. Or what about Eventbot Calendar?
With this, you can use text commands to easily set up meetings or reminders for dates. There’s plenty on offer, and if you can’t quite find what you’re after, dev tools are readily available for you to create your own bot.
Discord
Discord
is entirely free – they have special features aimed at gamers for $9.99 a
month, but no app functionality is restricted for free users.
Discord, in many ways, shares similarities
with Slack. You have the same multi track channel support, and there are dozens
of bots and app integrations available. Discord does have some differences,
though. Let’s take a brief overview of these below.
- Support for ‘always on’ voice
channels and text channels
- Easy to integrate bots and apps
for more functionality
- Open channels to the public
- Create user groups and give
different permissions based on group
Discord is better suited for more free-flowing
conversation. You are able to create permanent voice channels where users can
connect and disconnect to freely at any point. If you are the kind of team that
likes to bounce off each other spontaneously as opposed to scheduling meetings
at specific times, Discord voice channels would be perfect for that.
Engagement with your team members doesn’t stop
at voice, though. You can set up text channels, too, and you are given an
account where you can send private messages to other users.
Another thing I really like about Discord is
its ability to make things public. It’s very easy to create channels for the
public to access and then create channels that are only available for staff
members. This particular setup could be useful for public facing teams that
rely on the public’s feedback. For example, Discord is great for those looking
for feedback from their users on a mobile app or an ever evolving video game.
Finally, Discord lets you assign each user
with a ‘rank’ or place them into a certain group. You can then set permissions
for each group. This is useful for when you need to give high level members of
a project access to a room but don’t want others having access to it.
Google Hangouts Chat
Google Hangouts Chat costs $5 per user for 30GB storage, or $10 per user for unlimited storage. Alternatively, Classic Hangouts is available for free, but will be retired soon.
However, you must pay to integrate it all
together into one standalone chat software app outside of Gmail called Google
Hangouts Chat. If you want a core Google experience with more functionality,
Google Hangouts Chat might be for you. Here are some key features.
- Virtual rooms to dedicate to
different tasks
- Support for 8,000 members per room
- Easily upload and share any
content from other Google apps
- Powerful search built straight
into Hangouts Chat
- Compatible with the Hangouts app
built into Gmail
Google Hangouts Chat further integrates all Google apps into one system. You can easily set up calendar reminders, create documents, Google spreadsheets, and set up Hangouts voice call meetings. It’s perfectly suited for those that are constantly checking in with their team via their phone, because you’ll have access to all Google suite apps through the app store.
I’m a little concerned about how often Google
switches up their collaboration software, but regardless of whether Hangouts
Chat stays or go, the core Google Drive and G Suite software is still a strong
contender to other cloud based storage options.
