What is Teams?
Microsoft Teams is a collaboration app that helps your team stay organized and have conversations—all in one place. It allows you to create private or open channels for rich conversations which are enhanced by integrated file sharing, conference style meetings like skype, record or share notes and link content from your favorite apps. You can organise and customise your chat space with minimal effort and data compliance is built into the platform so you don't have to worry about it.
Getting to know Microsoft Teams
Teams is simple to use. Aside from chat, there are lots you can do including files, notes, meetings and apps to enrich your conversations. You don't have to use everything the Teams platform has to offer, the features are well grouped & organised to make it intuitive to navigate and use with very little or even no guidance at all. Teams is worth taking time to explore with the aid of some good guidance if needed. At it's core, Teams is a communications tool with extraordinary capabilities for enriching your conversations in various ways.
