Microsoft Teams: The hub for teamwork

Communication within your corporation has just had a shake up thanks to Microsoft. If you are anything like us, your internal communication, and sometimes external, relies pretty heavily on Skype or something similar. Well you may have already heard that Microsoft have scrapped skype as we know it and developed a previous communications platform: ‘Microsoft Teams’. This new chat software combines both Office 365 and Skype for Business with features from the older version of Teams.

The purpose of this entirely new collaborative experience is to bring people, conversations and content together, as well as other team tools, to provide a single hub for teamwork in Office 365.

Teamwork is the most effective way to get things done these days, which is why combining communication platforms acts as a basis for success.
Here are some of the features of Microsoft teams:

Chats
Microsoft teams provides a modern day conversational experience, including threaded chats to keep everyone engaged and private discussions. Teams can participate in voice and video conferences and everyone can add personality to their workspace with emojis, stickers, GIF’s and custom memes.
