Easy to keep in touch
Teams is useful for keeping your contacts well connected, this could be at work, school or just with your family or friends. You can do this well by simply sending a chat message or making a quick call. You can quickly send someone a chat to let them know you need that person and you can also quickly see if someone is available or absent.
Collaborate easily
Teams offers a broad integration of the Microsoft products that allows you to easily share your Wordt, PowerPoint or Excel files. The people you have shared the files with will be able to look at and work on the same file. This way you don’t have to send files constantly through the Mail but you can easily look at a document together. You can place comments and tasks in the documents so that it is quickly clear what still needs to be done.
Working together in one file also ensures that there are no multiple versions of a document. This ensures that everyone is aware of the important and current information.
