Now, you can play them all over again, thanks to Microsoft Teams.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft Teams is adding a brand new feature called Games for Work, which not only brings back the old Windows games you love, but lets you connect with your co-workers with them thanks to multi-player modalities. They let you play with as little as two people or with as many as 250 people, meaning everyone from small teams to big corporations can drift off and have a nice, semi-nostalgic game night.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-849699\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Games-for-Work-2-650x486.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"479\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Microsoft<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Among the games you can check out, you have Minesweeper, Solitaire, IceBreakers, and Wordament. Microsoft says that each game emphazises \u201ca different element of team building,\u201d so while the selection of games might not be huge at the moment, at least one of them might be a perfect fit for any kind of workplace.<\/p>\n<p>Being multiplayer games, they might not work the exact same as the old-school Windows games you used to play back when you had Windows XP or Windows Vista\/7, but they\u2019re still nice options, nonetheless. Game nights are common in a lot of workplaces to bring co-workers closer, and this solution by Microsoft just builds them right into a Microsoft Teams workplace.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t see the games, make sure to throw the suggestion in your workplace and, hopefully, you\u2019re able to peer-pressure your IT admin into turning them on.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/2022\/11\/16\/build-connections-with-games-for-work-a-new-microsoft-teams-app\/\">Microsoft<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
