00:00:00,005 --> 00:00:02,004
- [Instructor] One way to think of Microsoft Teams

2
00:00:02,004 --> 00:00:05,007
as the central hub for your team's work life.

3
00:00:05,007 --> 00:00:10,007
Teams includes the ability to communicate.

4
00:00:10,007 --> 00:00:11,009
It has chat.

5
00:00:11,009 --> 00:00:13,003
If it's tied to your phone system,

6
00:00:13,003 --> 00:00:15,002
it directly supports calling.

7
00:00:15,002 --> 00:00:17,003
Teams also is the central place

8
00:00:17,003 --> 00:00:19,000
that you'll be holding meetings.

9
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,004
You can have scheduled meetings that's used to hold,

10
00:00:21,004 --> 00:00:24,000
for example, using Skype for Business,

11
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,009
you can have ad hoc meetings.

12
00:00:25,009 --> 00:00:27,006
I need to talk with you right now,

13
00:00:27,006 --> 00:00:31,000
and you can create large live events,

14
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,001
events with multiple presenters,

15
00:00:33,001 --> 00:00:37,004
and you can record all of these events in Teams.

16
00:00:37,004 --> 00:00:39,004
You can also customize Teams.

17
00:00:39,004 --> 00:00:42,003
You can extend Teams with other applications.

18
00:00:42,003 --> 00:00:45,002
So if your team needs more than a chat,

19
00:00:45,002 --> 00:00:49,004
and a calendar, and calls, and files,

20
00:00:49,004 --> 00:00:52,008
then it's easy enough to add a tab

21
00:00:52,008 --> 00:00:56,000
that includes Planner, Forms, Power BI,

22
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,003
and all of these different applications

23
00:00:59,003 --> 00:01:01,006
that can be made available in Teams.

24
00:01:01,006 --> 00:01:04,002
You can also add Microsoft Power Apps,

25
00:01:04,002 --> 00:01:06,007
Power Automate, and Power BI

26
00:01:06,007 --> 00:01:11,006
so the entire platform is available to Microsoft Teams.

27
00:01:11,006 --> 00:01:14,002
As with the other work group options

28
00:01:14,002 --> 00:01:15,005
that we're going to discuss,

29
00:01:15,005 --> 00:01:18,005
Microsoft Teams is secure.

30
00:01:18,005 --> 00:01:23,002
Teams has a web app, an app for Windows and mobile apps

31
00:01:23,002 --> 00:01:25,004
so you can work with Teams on the road,

32
00:01:25,004 --> 00:01:26,009
you can work with Teams on a browser,

33
00:01:26,009 --> 00:01:28,000
or you can work with Teams

34
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,003
in whatever version of Windows you're using.

35
00:01:30,003 --> 00:01:34,000
When you use Teams, you create teams,

36
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,008
groups of people who work together.

37
00:01:35,008 --> 00:01:37,009
You can create a private team

38
00:01:37,009 --> 00:01:41,002
that is only available to the people who are members,

39
00:01:41,002 --> 00:01:42,002
a public team,

40
00:01:42,002 --> 00:01:44,001
where anybody in your organization

41
00:01:44,001 --> 00:01:46,000
can choose to join the team,

42
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,003
or organization wide teams,

43
00:01:48,003 --> 00:01:50,004
where everybody who's a member of the organization

44
00:01:50,004 --> 00:01:53,004
is automatically subscribed to that team.

45
00:01:53,004 --> 00:01:54,008
In Microsoft Teams,

46
00:01:54,008 --> 00:01:58,007
a team is a group of people who work together.

47
00:01:58,007 --> 00:02:01,008
Teams is designed to help you and your colleagues

48
00:02:01,008 --> 00:02:03,008
move your work forward.

49
00:02:03,008 --> 00:02:06,006
Within Teams, we create channels.

50
00:02:06,006 --> 00:02:08,009
Channels are workspaces,

51
00:02:08,009 --> 00:02:13,004
what the team of people who you work with actually works on.

52
00:02:13,004 --> 00:02:16,005
So if, for example, we had a sales department,

53
00:02:16,005 --> 00:02:18,008
perhaps we would have a sales team,

54
00:02:18,008 --> 00:02:20,008
and inside that sales team,

55
00:02:20,008 --> 00:02:22,000
if we had a group of people

56
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,009
who were focused on commercial sales,

57
00:02:23,009 --> 00:02:26,002
we could have a commercial sales channel.

58
00:02:26,002 --> 00:02:28,008
We might have a residential sales channel,

59
00:02:28,008 --> 00:02:31,003
a governmental sales channel, and so on,

60
00:02:31,003 --> 00:02:35,004
or we could have a channel for a particular product

61
00:02:35,004 --> 00:02:37,004
or for a particular promotion.

62
00:02:37,004 --> 00:02:42,004
Teams are people, channels are sections of work.

63
00:02:42,004 --> 00:02:45,000
It's also worth mentioning that Microsoft Teams

64
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,002
is the fastest growing Microsoft work group app ever.

65
00:02:48,002 --> 00:02:49,008
You'll see the reasons for that

66
00:02:49,008 --> 00:02:51,002
as we continue in our course.
