Microsoft Teams is a highly efficient chat-based collaboration platform complete with online meetings, document sharing and many more extremely useful features for business communications.

Below are few key features of Microsoft Teams.

•     Online video calling and screen sharing. Enjoy seamless and fast video calls to employees within your business or clients outside your business. A good video call feature is great to have on a collaboration platform. One can also enjoy simple and fast desktop sharing for technical assistance and multi-user real-time collaboration.

Online meetings can include anyone outside or inside a business. This feature also includes a scheduling aid, a note-taking app, file uploading, and in-meeting chat messaging.
•   Document storage in SharePoint. Every team who uses Microsoft Teams will have a site in SharePoint Online, which will contain a default document library folder. All files shared across all conversations will automatically save to this folder. Permissions and security options can also be customized for sensitive information.
•     Audio conferencing. This is a feature you won’t find in many collaboration platforms. With audio conferencing, anyone can join an online meeting via phone. With a dial-in number that spans hundreds of cities, even users that are on the go can participate with no internet required. Note this requires additional licensing.
•     Full telephony. That’s right! The days of seeking VoIP vendors and overspending on a phone system are finally over. Microsoft  365 Business Voice can completely replace your business’ existing phone system. Note this requires additional licensing.
