Microsoft Teams is a business communication platform that brings together the best capabilities Office 365 has to offer. Teams is based around chat-based communication and collaboration.
What sets Teams apart from its rivals is its seamless integration of applications that business users rely on every day, including messaging, Office 365, video meetings, file sharing, collaborative editing and team-based planning.
Teams makes it easy to create dedicated spaces for project teams, business units, staff cohorts and other groups to communicate and collaborate. By creating a ‘team’ and assigning users, organisations can establish private group chat rooms (called ‘channels’) to plan, manage and deliver work.

Channels are easy to use, offering a familiar experience to other popular messaging apps. Conversations are grouped in a thread so you can access all group chat messages in a single place. Users receive notifications when there’s a new message available. Group calls and video chats can also be started with one click from within each channel.
The benefits of channels aren’t confined to team-based chat. Microsoft Teams integrates a range of Office 365 capabilities including:
Team members can use channels to create, edit and collaborate on documents and tasks, with each user’s changes visible in real-time. Changes can also be automatically synced to OneDrive or SharePoint to ensure that the latest version is always available and accessible.
Microsoft has big plans to continue improving Teams over time, with almost 200 updates currently in development on the product roadmap.
This includes the release of new functionality (like the new schedule management feature) and services tailored to the needs of specific industries (such as a coordination service for patient care in the healthcare industry).
Microsoft Teams is one of the most popular communication platforms in the world – and for good reason. It’s designed to meet the important communication and collaboration needs of business teams, irrespective of their location or choice of device.
