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 and Office 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. Deeper into the book, you take a spin around the Teams Admin Center and see that you don’t need to be an IT professional to be a Teams administrator. You also learn how to install add-on apps in Teams and connect them with other software you use in your organization.
In addition, you learn how Teams can replace your office phone and conferencing system and how you can use instant meetings to stay connected with others whether they are part of your organization or not. Finally, you learn how to use Teams in a small or medium-sized business or in a giant multinational enterprise. The book wraps up with a number of top ten tips that help you kick-start your continued journey with Teams.
I use the standard For Dummies technical conventions throughout the book. So, if you are familiar with these, you are already half way on your journey. If you are new to the For Dummies series, the following list of conventions will help you out:
Bold text means that you’re meant to type the text just as it appears in the book. The exception is when you’re working through a steps list: Because each step is bold, the text to type is not bold.
Web addresses appear in monofont. If you’re reading a digital version of this book on a device connected to the Internet, note that you can click the web address to visit that website, like this: www.dummies.com
I use the standard, For Dummies command arrows. For example: Click the Profile icon in the top right of Teams and then choose Settings ⇒ Notifications ⇒ Mentions to change how you are notified of someone mentioning your name in Teams.
Foolish Assumptions
In this book I assume that you have at least heard of Microsoft Teams, have an interest in getting the most out of the product, and have access to a computer. In the chapter about using Teams on a mobile device, I assume you are interested in using Teams on your iOS or Android mobile phone or tablet. Microsoft designed Teams from the ground up to be intuitive and easy to use, so if you have access to a computer, you should be all set.
How This Book Is Organized
This book is organized into seven parts. Each part is organized based on the way you will use Teams. For example, in Part 2, you learn about communication in Teams with
