Microsoft Teams Training Courses

Microsoft Teams Training

Duration ½ Day  (or may be delivered as several short 2 hr sessions)

Course overview

This course is ideal for new and self-taught end users who want to work in a hub-based teamwork environment in Office 365.  

Learn how to effectively use Teams, the hub for teamwork in Office 365 to centrally house everything around strategic projects.  Teams stores everything in Channels (subjects), including documents and notes, with the ability to contact and communicate with colleagues via chat or video conferencing. All of this including your favourite apps are under one roof so you don’t have to switch applications to get the job done.  Learn how to keep the lines of communication flowing by maintaining in-line conversations so that you can pick up right where you left off in a chat without having to sift through mounds of unrelated email threads.
