This video comprehensively covers all the topics outlined in the knowledge-based article and provides a detailed introduction to utilizing Teams effectively.
These are the recommended settings for Teams from Help Desk staff.
Chat:
- A one-on-one conversation between two people.
- Private and typically used for direct communication where messages are seen only by the participants.
- Can include text-based messages, files, and multimedia.
Group Chat:
- A conversation among a group of people (up to 250 participants).
- Similar to individual chats but includes multiple participants.
- Messages are visible to all participants in the group chat.
Microsoft Teams integrates file sharing, status options, and meeting scheduling and joining capabilities into one collaborative platform. See the video above to have a in depth look at the features that can be utilized within the chat.
Team:
- A collaboration workspace that brings together people, conversations, and content for group projects or ongoing teams within an organization.
- Includes channels for organizing conversations by topic, department, or project.
- Allows for integrated access to files, applications, and third-party services relevant to the team's goals.
- Members can have different roles (like owners, members, guests) with varying permissions.
- Provides a broader context for ongoing work and collaboration beyond simple messaging.
- Ensures longevity of documents via SharePoint storage. Users may come and go, but the files stay.
Creating and scheduling meetings on Teams streamlines collaboration by providing a centralized platform for organizing discussions, managing participant availability, and integrating seamlessly with other team activities and tools.
