This will be the final post (for now) in my Microsoft Teams series.  Previously I wrote about the apps you can get with the new tool as well as I spoke heavily on the chat feature.  In the future I intend to discuss further how Teams works in the back-end and how it integrates into SharePoint Groups.  Today I am going to finish off discussing Microsoft Teams: meetings and files and how they integrate into the tool and different ways to use them.  If you are looking for the other posts I have completed on Teams please click on one of the links below:

Microsoft Teams – The App

Configure- Slider

The other day I posted my initial thoughts on Microsoft Teams.  To put it bluntly, I really like this new collaboration tool that Microsoft has provided.  It brings all the power of Groups plus throws on great add-ons like chat, video meeting, favorite (quick) tabs, notifications and an app for your Windows or Mac machine as well as your smart phone and tablets.  Today I want to talk about the Microsoft Teams app itself.  I’ll talk further on the other features in future blogs.  To view the other posts I have completed on this series please select from a link below:
