COVID-19 vs. Microsoft Teams

With COVID-19 recently being named a global pandemic by the WHO, a large number of traditional office environments are shifting to remote work. If you would like to make the transition but are lacking the proper software to ensure communication and collaboration remain strong during the transition you came to the right blog. Introducing... Microsoft Teams! 

Organizations around the globe are already quickly adopting Microsoft Teams as their way to chat, meet, call, collaborate and learn all in one place. Why? Because it is the most complete solution in the market and more importantly, it’s easy to use. 

Teams vs Channels 

To be perfectly clear, Microsoft Teams is comprised of “Teams” and “Channels”. Teams are the overall group of people working on a project. They can range in size from a small production team to a large organization.  

Teams are made up of Channels, each covering a different topic. Only channels you favorite will appear in your Microsoft Teams application. The remaining channels can be accessed by clicking “more”.  Examples of channels: Marketing, Sales, Accounting, Design 

What makes Teams such a good resource for working remotely? 

  • Collaborate on documents in real-time 

  • All documents shared are stored in one easy to access location 

  • Have private and/or group conversations 

  • Conversations are saved for future reference 

  • There is a mobile app 

  • Blur your background during video calls so the focus is solely on you 

  • Send gifs and emojis 

  • Access your calendar 

  • And more!
