Make the most out of your Microsoft Teams experience
Microsoft Teams has established itself as a tool for collaborative and efficient work. It was first introduced in March 2017, meant to replace Skype for Business, and is now being used by over 150,000 organizations. As companies are no longer limited by physical location and office hours, leaders are looking for software solutions to keep them on track with the latest news and updates, while also helping to increase collaboration among their employees. The Microsoft Teams experience has been a boon to remote teams all over the world; helping organizations improve their collaboration, communication, and productivity.
What is Microsoft Teams?
Teams is a collaboration hub for all kinds of remote teams, allowing them to work on tasks and projects seamlessly, while enhancing effective communication. For instance, if you’ve got an announcement, you can share it right on the home tab using a video message. If you are presenting with a colleague virtually (and anywhere) Teams will allow you to do that in real-time using screen sharing. In addition, direct messages are a foundation inside Teams. To help make the experience even better, there are multiple different apps that you can find in Teams to enhance productivity, such as activity trackers, calendars, and many others.

Teams are constantly updating and looking to provide the best experience to employees. Looking to allow collaboration to happen on your own time, create inclusive meeting experiences and empower different work styles are some of the objectives of Microsoft Teams’ updates.
