Microsoft Teams has become the central collaboration tool in most Microsoft 365 organizations. Video meetings, chat, team channels, file sharing, integration with SharePoint and Outlook: Teams covers a perimeter that few users really exploit. The Microsoft Teams training delivers these levers in one intensive half day.
The course places significant focus on the teams/channels logic of Teams. A team groups people around a project, department or topic; inside, channels separate conversations by theme. This structure prevents everything from mixing in a single chat.
Teams meetings are the most visible use of the tool. The course details techniques to make them effective: planning via Outlook, screen sharing, collaborative annotation, recording, automatic transcription, breakout rooms.
Teams chat is the modern alternative to informal emails and pro SMS. The course shows how to use it effectively: @mention, quote a message, pin an important message, archive a conversation.
Teams’ real power emerges when integrated with other Microsoft 365 tools. The course details integration with SharePoint (channel files are stored in SharePoint), with OneNote (a notebook per team), with Outlook (meeting planning).
The Microsoft Teams training is designed for all Microsoft 365 users who want to fully benefit from Teams. No specific prerequisites needed beyond using a computer.
At ITTA centers in Carouge and Le Flon, this Microsoft Teams course runs as an intensive half day with an expert instructor and a limited group.
