Microsoft Teams: Overview
Microsoft Teams can be used with or without a dedicated "Team" for communication and collaboration.
What is a Team?
A "Team" is a dedicated, group workspace made up of individual channels to host messages, files, and more.
Communications
Everyone can use Teams to:
- Send direct or group messages
- Host video calls
Creating a dedicated "Team" for your group:
- Gives you a persistent Team space with multiple channels
- Allows you to set up organized message threads
Collaboration
Everyone can share files in Teams direct messages and video calls.
Creating a dedicated "Team" for your group:
- Gives you a shared, group-owned space in OneDrive where you can store shared files. Files upload to a Team's shared OneDrive space are owned by the Team and remain available to them if the individual who uploaded them leaves the college.
- Enables you to use Microsoft Planner in Teams to organize your group's work.
