So far this week we have introduced you to setting up your Microsoft Teams site, adding Channels and using Connectors to bring data into your team site.

Since various team members can be spread all over the globe and not able to meet in the same room all the time then the capability to meet virtually is an important feature with any collaboration suite.

Microsoft Teams understands this and makes it very easy to schedule, track and join these virtual meetings. The service uses Skype to create the audio/video connection for the meeting and so the tools should be familiar to any organizations that use Microsoft services on Office 365.

One unique feature in Microsoft Teams is the ability to quickly start up an impromptu meeting directly in any channel with the simple click of an icon in the chat window. It is almost like meeting your colleague in the hallway or at the water cooler and sharing the news of the day.

This gallery will show you the various ways meetings are integrated into Microsoft Teams.

 

About the Author

Richard Hay

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
