The Microsoft Teams user base is skyrocketing. Many companies around the world are switching to Microsoft Teams to allow their teams to collaborate and discuss ideas, projects and more. Credit to Microsoft, new features for the app are increasing rapidly. In addition to updating video calling features, Microsoft also supports other tasks such as signing documents in the Teams app. It is quite useful for quickly signing and sharing documents.
Microsoft is leveraging the Microsoft 365 suite and OneDrive integration to share and send files across channels. In addition to sharing screenshots, you may want to quickly sign and share some documents as well. You can download them, open a PDF editor or digital signature software, import the document, sign it, and then send it to Microsoft Teams.
Or you can directly open the document in Microsoft Teams and sign it using the methods suggested below. You don't need any additional software on your PC or Mac to sign documents. This post will guide you on how to sign documents in Microsoft Teams using SignEasy and Zoho Sign. Let's begin.
