Microsoft Teams
Meet the online workspace for collaborative teamwork in Microsoft 365
Achieve more together with Microsoft Teams for Business
Microsoft Teams is a chat-based workspace within the Microsoft 365 subscription, that is suitable for businesses of all sizes. As a digital collaborative workspace, it is designed to provide simple management and workflows for group and private messaging, voice calls, video conferencing, meetings, and file sharing – all in one place.
Teams is a replacement for Skype for Business
As Microsoft’s Cloud-based unified communications product, Microsoft Teams is a replacement for Skype for Business. As a business communications app, Teams allows local and remote users to collaborate in real time across any device. It integrates with other Microsoft 365 apps (such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and services (such as Exchange and SharePoint). Guest access also allows users to invite people from outside the business to join in, such as clients and third parties.
Microsoft Teams brings people together in a shared workspace where people can collaborate in real time. Employees can privately chat with other team members using the instant messaging functionality. From responding to urgent questions to securely sharing documents, Microsoft Teams lets you easily collaborate and keep the discussion flowing.
