Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Microsoft Teams to send messages, make video calls, and host online meetings with colleagues. It lets you organize conversations into channels by topic or project, share and co-edit files directly in the app, and integrate with other Microsoft 365 apps like Word, Excel, and Outlook. You can also add third-party apps, set up automated workflows, and record meetings. It works for small teams and large organizations alike.
