Using Microsoft Teams as your Hub for Communication and Collaboration

Microsoft Teams is your hub for communication and collaboration. It’s designed to simplify how you work, so you can access everything you need in one place. You can sit down to work, open Teams, and everything you need is in one place.

This app lets you chat, schedule meetings, video call and even access all your files.

Here are 5 tips to help you use Microsoft Teams as your hub:
