Microsoft Teams: Overview
Microsoft Teams can be used with or without a dedicated "Team", and not everyone needs one! Detailed below are some of Teams' various functionality and what's accessible with your setup.
What is a Team?
A "Team" is a dedicated, group workspace made up of individual channels to host messages, files, and more.
Communications
Without a Team:
- Send direct or group messages
- Set up a video call
With a Team:
- Take it a step further with dedicated channels
- Set up organized message threads
Collaboration
Without a Team, share files via message to avoid email attachment limits.
With a Team, you can upload them directly. Unlike OneDrive, they are owned by a Team instead of a specific person.
Creating a Team
Attention: You may not need a Team
You do not need a Team in order to use Microsoft Teams for video conferencing or direct messaging.
Teams must be requested through LITS via the Service Catalog.
