What is Microsoft Teams?

Microsoft Teams is a cloud-based collaboration platform that brings together chat, video conferencing, file sharing and applications into a single workspace. It’s designed to help teams work together more effectively, especially in the hybrid working world.

Users can easily communicate with colleagues through instant messaging, group chats and video calls. They can also share files and collaborate on documents in real-time, using integrated Office apps like Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

Teams is a versatile platform that can be used by businesses of all sizes, from small startups to large enterprises. Essentially, it helps every team to communicate better.
