If you\u2019re in a company that already uses Office 365, or in a company who\u2019s been considering using Office 365, I\u2019m guessing that Microsoft Teams<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>is a topic that has come<\/span>\u00a0up often. <\/span><\/p>\n

And no\u00a0<\/span>matter what your industry<\/span>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/span>company\u00a0<\/span>size<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>we know you likely<\/span>\u00a0have all sorts of questions about Microsoft Teams and some of the underlying technologies found in Office 365.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The good news: We have answers. Below are some of the most common Teams questions our\u00a0experts\u00a0get\u00a0from\u00a0our clients and Microsoft Teams\u00a0workshop attendees.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. What is Microsoft Teams?<\/h2>\n

Microsoft Teams is a workspace, or a \u201ccollaboration hub\u201d as many refer to these workspaces, found within Office 365 that provides real-time collaboration, communication, virtual meetings\u00a0using audio and video functionality,\u00a0and\u00a0<\/strong>file sharing, all within a single application.\u00a0<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

It enables cross-organization groups to easily create and use these workspaces in an intuitive manner, placing the most common collaboration and communication functions at everyone\u2019s fingertips.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Why should\u00a0you care\u00a0are about it?<\/h2>\n

I have a confession to make: I was\u00a0<\/span>a<\/span>\u00a0pessimist about\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>claims Microsoft\u00a0<\/span>made when\u00a0<\/span>first announc<\/span>ing Teams in\u00a0<\/span>2017. Well, I was completely wrong!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the past year I\u2019ve\u00a0concluded\u00a0that\u00a0Microsoft Teams is a game-changer for companies wanting to increase their collaboration and employee engagement in order to increase their productivity across the board.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Microsoft Teams<\/span>\u00a0is<\/span>\u00a0now approaching its\u00a0<\/span>two-year<\/span>\u00a0anniversary from when Microsoft originally announced its release and the<\/span> increase in\u00a0usage over that time<\/a>\u00a0has been simply astonishing.\u00a0So\u00a0what are the reasons for this growth?<\/p>\n
