2021: Integration with Microsoft Teams

On November 10, 2021, Microsoft and Meta Platforms  (previously called Facebook) announced the integration of their Teams and Workplace collaboration systems, respectively. More details here.

2016: Commercial launch of the office social network Facebook Workplace

On October 10, 2016, Facebook officially announced the launch of a social network for Workplace companies. The service, which was originally called Facebook at Work, was tested for about two years.

From the point of view of the user interface, Facebook Workplace is similar to Facebook. The new service supports user groups for organizing teams, a personalized news feed, video calls and discussions.

Communication within the Facebook Workplace takes place in complete isolation from personal profiles on Facebook, even if both social networks are launched on the same smartphone. Developers of the new service declare a high level of security that ensures the confidentiality of information.

Facebook Workplace Interface

Facebook Workplace does not have advertising, and paid tariffs for corporate customers have become the main means of monetization. Companies will pay $1 for each user if more than 10 thousand employees are connected to the service. With an active audience of less than 1 thousand people, the cost of a Facebook Workplace subscription will be $3 per user. Non-profit organizations and educational institutions will be exempted from the fee.

According to Re/code, Facebook Workplace does not offer a document tool like Microsoft Word. Project manager Julien Codorniou stated the following in this regard:

By October 2016, about 1 thousand companies around the world use Workplace as a platform for exchanging corporate information. Among the customers of the service are Starbucks, Oxfam and Booking.com. The largest number of users of the product is registered in India, Norway, the USA, Great Britain and France.

Facebook Workplace is available to companies around the world. To connect to it, you need to fill out an application on the project website. The service is accessed through an Internet browser or applications for mobile platforms iOS and Android.[1]

2015: Launch of Facebook at Work office social network

On January 14, 2015, Facebook launched a social network for intra-corporate communication. The service allows employees of organizations and enterprises to conduct business correspondence without using personal Facebook accounts.

The new project is called Facebook at Work. In terms of basic functionality and appearance, it resembles Facebook, but is focused on internal use.

An employer who runs Facebook at Work can create a news feed where noticeable events taking place in the company will be displayed. The service allows you to organize individual and group chats, exchange files, create mass invitations of employees to corporate events and groups for joint projects.

At the same time, communication between Facebook at Work users occurs in complete isolation from personal profiles on Facebook, even if both social networks are launched on the same smartphone. Developers of the new service promise a high level of security that ensures the confidentiality of information.

As the project manager of Facebook at Work Lars Rasmussen told the TechCrunch edition, service is focused on the companies in which work from 100 and more people.[2]

It is not known how Facebook intends to earn on a corporate social network. It is not planned to introduce advertising in it (at least initially). The company also does not intend to collect information from the site for sale to its marketers.

Facebook at Work is available as apps for mobile devices based on iOS and Android. Programs are located in the Apple App Store and Goolge Play Store directories. At the time of the announcement of the new social network, only some companies that were included in the number of beta testers could use it.

Nothing is known about the timing of the launch of the project for all interested institutions. On the Facebook site, you can only leave an application for the launch of Facebook at Work inside the company.[3]
