What is Microsoft Teams?
Microsoft Teams is cloud-based team collaboration software that is part of the Office 365 suite of applications. The core capabilities in Microsoft Teams include business messaging, calling, video meetings and file sharing.
The basic functions of Teams
Business Messaging - Teams is a tool that can make communicating within your organization easy and effective. When using business messaging within teams you can set up teams/channels and communicate easily within the channel to all members of a team. You can also use the chat features to quickly communicate with individual teammates.
Calling within Teams - Calling in Teams is easy! Your teammates phone number will be incorporated within their account, so forget phone lists, just click the teammate you wish to call and place a call.
Video Meetings - Teams coordinates with your Outlook calendar to easily schedule meetings with teammates and schedule conference calls/ video conferencing. If you are familiar with Skype for Business, you will find Video Meetings in teams to be quite similar and notice some enhancements within the app. You should also note that teams will soon be replacing Skype for Business Completely.
File Sharing - Say so long to searching through email to find shared files. Teams keeps your files organized for you by team/channel/chat so that you never have to look hard to a file that was shared with you.
