Use channels around a team, project or any other topic as a place to hold meetings, add files, and collaborate on tasks.
Navigate easily with three default tabs: conversations, files, and wiki wherein documents, chats, and other information can be stored.
Collaborate via instant messaging, video chat, and group conferences to stay connected at all times.

Microsoft Teams gives you the ability to access all of your applications and functionalities within one convenient tool – meaning you can video chat, edit documents in real-time, schedule meetings, and much more.
