Course Summary
Microsoft Teams is a chat-based workspace for groups of co-workers. Teams provides a single window workspace where team members can chat with instant messaging or video calls live online. It also enables users to make notes and share files instantly.
By creating a ‘Team’, you will automatically be allocated a team Group, OneNote space, SharePoint Site and Plan – so it’s highly integrated with those other elements of Microsoft 365.
Microsoft 365 (Formerly Office 365) is Microsoft’s cloud-based subscription service. This Introduction to Microsoft Teams training course will educate users in the basics of using Microsoft 365 and its MS Teams services.
