Teams is more than just a video chat offering, it comes with a built-in communications app to facilitate working together with other people on files and documents.
It features VoIP, text and video chat as well as integration with Microsoft Office and SharePoint that anyone can use, although it is beneficial to people already using Office 365.
Teams will eventually become the built-in workplace communications app for Windows and Office, replacing Skype for Business.
