About Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is a collaboration app that helps your team stay organized and have conversations—all in one place. 

With Microsoft Teams on your PC, Mac, or mobile device, you can:

  • Pull together a team.

  • Use chat instead of email.

  • Securely edit files at the same time.

  • See likes, @mentions, and replies with just a single tap.

  • Customize it by adding notes, web sites, and apps.


Quick look at the left hand side of the teams

Here's a quick look at the left hand side of Teams.

  • Teams - Find channels to belong to or create your own. Inside channels you can hold on-the-spot meetings, have conversations, and share files.

  • Calendar - See everything you’ve got lined up for the day or week. Or, schedule a meeting. This calendar syncs with your Outlook calendar.

  • Calls - In some cases, if your organization has it set up, you can call anyone from Teams, even if they’re not using Teams.

  • Activity - Catch up on all your unread messages, @mentions, replies, and more.
