MICROSOFT TEAMS GENERAL INFORMATION

Microsoft-Teams-Emblem

Microsoft Teams is the ultimate messaging app for your organization—a workspace for real-time collaboration and communication, meetings, file and app sharing, and even the occasional emoji! All in one place, all in the open, all accessible to everyone.

Chat 

In Teams, you can add flavor to your chats with emojis, GIFs, and memes and even convert a chat into an audio or video call! In addition, Teams offers persistent chat, so you can find and resume any conversation.

Collaborate

As your team works together, you'll undoubtedly have files that you'll want to share and collaborate on. Microsoft Teams makes it easy to share files within channels.


Meetings

Meetings are about being productive and connected. Using voice, video, and sharing files from anywhere is just the beginning of what Teams meetings have to offer.
