00:07 hello everyone with the current corona
00:10 virus pandemic upon us and millions and
00:13 more users now signed up with Microsoft
00:15 teams I thought it would be beneficial
00:17 to sort of break down Microsoft teams so
00:20 I'm Michael Intravartolo of Solution Systems
00:23 systems and a welcome to tea with
00:25 Microsoft teams this is where I'll
00:27 showcase features and functionality on
00:29 Microsoft teams for you in a series of
00:31 short videos I've got my tea as you can
00:36 see so let's get into today's video
00:39 which today's video is just going to be
00:40 a short introductory video to Microsoft
00:43 here we go all right out of the
00:46 box team comes with six sections you've
00:49 got the team section the calendar
00:50 section the activities section the chat
00:52 section the call section and the file
00:55 section each section serves a different
00:57 purpose that really helps you
00:58 collaborate with your colleagues
01:00 the first section I want to talk about
01:02 though is is a team section this is
01:06 where you're gonna see a list of all the
01:07 teams that you're part of the teams are
01:09 then made up of channels that can be
01:10 built by a department topic or just for
01:13 fun this is really where you're gonna
01:14 hold your meetings have team
01:16 conversations and share files I
01:18 particularly like that the channels
01:20 there the teams have channels that you
01:23 can create especially if you have a big
01:25 project that you're working on let's say
01:26 you got a bunch of people working on the
01:27 same project but each group of people
01:31 has their own type of thing that they're
01:32 doing you create channels for each one
01:34 as we have here and it works out really
01:36 really well
01:37 second section I want to talk about is
01:39 the calendar section the calendar
01:43 section it's really we gonna see
01:46 everything from your Outlook calendar or
01:48 things that you've created for this
01:50 calendar with the beauty of this is
01:51 though if you create something in your
01:53 team's calendar it automatically syncs
01:55 with your office 365 Outlook calendar
01:56 and vice versa if you create something
01:58 in your office 365 Outlook calendar it
02:01 automatically syncs with your your team
02:04 calendar so this is basically your
02:07 Outlook calendar within teams third
02:10 section I want to talk about is the
02:12 activity
02:13 detection now the activity section is
02:16 where I start my day there's where I
02:18 start when I join teams every day it's I
02:23 start here because it's simply where
02:24 you're gonna see your unread messages
02:26 whether or not anybody's mentioned you
02:28 or if anybody's replied to do anything
02:31 that you've posted the next section I
02:34 want to talk about is the chat section
02:37 this is the section where you're going
02:39 to see a log of all your recent
02:40 individual chats that you've had on
02:42 Microsoft teams it's a great tool if you
02:45 want to go back and reference something
02:46 it's really nice that it it keeps the
02:49 chats for you next up we've got the call
02:53 section here's where you'll see your
02:56 colleagues or any type of recent calls
02:59 that you've had with anybody who has
03:00 teams you can call them through
03:02 Microsoft teams by either audio or
03:05 through a video call if you pay for a
03:07 calling plan through Microsoft you'll
03:09 get a little key pin here and then you
03:11 can make any calls that you want to
03:13 anybody who actually has a a phone
03:17 finally we got the file section this is
03:20 where you're gonna see your files you
03:22 can connect to onedrive to access files
03:24 real quickly it's pretty nice up here
03:28 you've got your command bar you can
03:30 search through apps you can search for
03:32 context over here is where you're gonna
03:34 see your status right currently I'm
03:37 presenting you can set your status
03:38 message to whatever you want you can see
