Teams and Channels
A team is a group of people gathered to get something big done in your organization or the whole organization itself.
Teams are made up of channels, which are the conversations you have with your teammates. Each channel is dedicated to a specific topic, department, or project. Learn more about Teams and Channels.

Creating, Finding, and Sharing Files
Teams makes it easy to work with and share the files your team produces and acquires. Learn more about working with files in Teams.
Call and Meeting Tools
You can make calls to other Teams users or host meetings with Teams. As dial-in is not enabled for Teams meetings, we recommend using Zoom for most meetings. Learn more about using Zoom within Teams.
