When do I use Teams?

  • When you’re collaborating in real time, it is a great time-saver to easily access files that are important to your project.  Files shared on Microsoft Teams are available right where you are having conversations and meeting, and your team can own them together. Documents shared in Microsoft Teams are also stored in SharePoint.
     
  • You can communicate through threaded and persistent chats and keep everyone up to date with the project at hand. In Microsoft Teams, you can also privately chat with any contact, even when they’re offline – that’s especially convenient when your contact is in a different time zone. With persistent conversation history, you can start and continue exchanges at any time. Use private chat to co-author a document in real time and to continue collaborating after a call. You can even pin important chats for easy retrieval.
