Which one should you choose?
Choose Limnn if…
- Your operational systems (CRM, help desk, HR, projects) run on Limnn and you want chat on the same data.
- You want a focused chat experience with AI grounded in business records.
Choose Microsoft Teams if…
- Your company is standardised on Microsoft 365 and Outlook.
- You run large meetings, webinars or need an enterprise phone system.
Moving from Microsoft Teams to Limnn
- 01Decide what history matters. Most teams start fresh in Limnn Beam and keep Teams read-only for an archive period.
- 02Create channels to mirror your team structure, set announcement channels to admin-only posting and create @groups.
- 03Invite people — they use the same Limnn login, roles and directory as the rest of the suite.
- 04Move notifications from Limnn modules (deals, tickets, tasks) into the relevant channels so work and conversation live together.

Limnn vs Microsoft Teams: common questions
Can Limnn replace Microsoft Teams?
For chat and small-team Jams, often yes. If you rely on Microsoft 365 integration, large meetings or Teams Phone, keep Teams and use Limnn for operations.
Does Limnn integrate with Microsoft accounts?
Limnn includes a Microsoft connector in Settings → Integrations. If you depend on deep Microsoft 365 integration, keep Teams alongside Limnn.
