Microsoft Teams has the power to improve communication and collaboration across the business. It enables employees to communicate in real-time with individuals and groups, share documents, and organise audio, video and web conferences – all without leaving the platform. It also integrates with a number of other applications, from Office Online to third-party tools like Mailchimp, Salesforce and Github, for seamless collaboration.

However, the number of available features can make the application somewhat overwhelming when you are first getting started. So we have compiled this quick start guide to help you get the most out of Teams. 

From individual and group chats to meetings, calls and video, these tips and shortcuts will help you navigate Teams, become more productive and increase efficiency.

1. Filter the Activity, Chat and communicate back effectively with your teams while making it interesting and interactive
2. Creating and running meetings effectively, while also being able to manage the “Teams Room” once everyone joins with confidence
3. Manage the team’s files and folders how you want to manage them – do you prefer Teams / SharePoint interfaces or the good old Windows Explorer / My Computer?
4. Increase your productivity with handy and quick shortcuts to common actions
