Because Teams is tightly integrated with Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365), users have easy access to tools such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and SharePoint—everything they need to work smarter and more efficiently.  While Microsoft Office helps individuals and teams perform and organize daily office tasks, Microsoft Dynamics helps businesses improve and automate their business processes.

Since its launch in 2017, Teams has become an important tool for organizations both large and small, particularly for video meetings and shared documents. With the AI assistant Copilot in place, employees save time and gain a better overview of tasks and projects.

Chat and messaging

Teams offers functionality for both private and group chats. Users can send text messages, emojis, GIFs, and files, as well as create conversation threads for better clarity and organization.

Video meetings and calls

The platform supports both one-to-one and group video meetings and audio calls. It offers features such as screen sharing and meeting recording, which can be particularly useful for reviews and training. Using the AI assistant Copilot, you can request a quick summary of a meeting you have joined a little late, view a list of action items, and use prompts such as 'what follow-up questions can I ask to move the discussion forward?' or 'what is the next step after this meeting?'

Channels and teams

A 'team' in Microsoft Teams is a group of people who collaborate on a project or work toward a common goal. Multiple channels can be created within each team, serving as separate spaces for specific conversations and projects.

File management and sharing

Teams integrates with OneDrive and SharePoint, making it easy to upload, share, and collaborate on files directly within the platform. Users can also edit documents together in real time using Office 365 applications such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Integrations and apps

Teams supports a range of third-party apps and services that can be integrated to extend its functionality. These include tools for project management, analytics, development, customer service, and more.
