Introduction
Is it just me or does the pace of technology seem to be speeding up? It feels like just the other day Microsoft bought Skype and transformed its Lync product into Skype for Business. Well, hold on, because Microsoft Teams has come along and it has displaced all of them! After its release in 2017, Teams has gone on to become the fastest growing product in the history of Microsoft.
Microsoft Teams is a communications and collaboration tool that enables you to chat, call, and meet and collaborate with others in real time. It is available either as a free, stand-alone app that you can download from the Internet, or as part of a bundle of software, such as Microsoft 365. If you are ready to learn what all the hype is about with Microsoft Teams, you are in the right place.
About This Book
This book is designed to get you the information you need to use Microsoft Teams quickly and efficiently without getting bogged down in the weeds. You learn how to get up and running with Teams in just a few minutes. You then discover how to add users, create teams, and communicate and collaborate with others in real time. In addition to learning the basics of Teams, you discover many tips and tricks you need to know to get the most out of the product to facilitate remote work and learning, and even how to use Teams to stay connected to family and friends.
To make the content more accessible, the book is organized into seven parts:
Part 1: Getting Started with Microsoft Teams
Part 2: Exploring Chat, Teams, Channels, and Apps
Part 3: Staying in Sync with Meetings and Conferencing
Part 4: Taking Communications to the Next Level with Voice
Part 5: Becoming a Microsoft Teams Administrator
Part 6: Molding Teams to Fit Your Unique Organization
Part 7: The Part of Tens
Each part is organized based on the way you will use Teams. For example, in Part 2, you learn about the different methods of communication available in Teams. In Part 5, you learn about Teams administration. You might need to jump straight into Teams administration if you find yourself as an “accidental admin,” or you might want to start at the beginning of the book and build up your knowledge bit by bit. The Part of Tens offers three top ten lists: tips for getting the most out of Teams, the best apps to install in Teams, and the best places you can go to learn more and continue your Teams journey.
