Microsoft Teams supports team conversations, meetings and collaboration, and connects with other Microsoft 365 services.
What does this mean in practice?
Channels organise conversations by topic or project. Team files use Microsoft 365 storage services, so access rules should be planned alongside your document structure.
Example use case
Instead of sending separate messages to several people, the team discusses a project in one channel and refers to shared files.
Things to consider
Too many teams and channels make information harder to find. Agree when to create a new team, who manages it and what happens when the project ends.
