The problem
Why Microsoft Teams needs automatic time tracking
Microsoft Teams dominates enterprise communication, but it has no built-in time tracking. Teams calls, channel discussions, and file collaboration eat hours every day — and none of it is measured. Managers know meetings feel excessive but can't quantify the problem.
Third-party Teams time tracking apps add timers or integrations, but they only capture time inside Teams. The real picture includes everything between meetings — emails in Outlook, documents in SharePoint, tasks in Planner, and focused work in other tools.
Rize captures the full picture automatically. It detects Teams calls and meetings, tracks time in Outlook, SharePoint, Office apps, and every other tool your team uses. You get a complete breakdown of meeting time vs. deep work — without anyone touching a timer.
