Introduction to Microsoft Teams course

About this course

Having started out as a communication tool, Teams is now becoming an all-encompassing platform, serving as an "everything app". With its integration capabilities and expanding range of features, organisations are increasingly adopting Teams as their central application for communication, document storage, project management, and more.

Teams seamlessly connects with many Microsoft 365 applications and third-party tools, allowing for internal and external file sharing and catering to diverse business needs.

However, getting the most out of Teams requires a solid grounding in its architecture, in particular its relationship with OneDrive, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps.
