Summary

Initial setup of the Microsoft Teams client.

Body

Overview

This article covers the initial setup of the Microsoft Teams client.

Microsoft Teams serves two major functions, collaboration and communication. The communication side of Teams functions similar to Skype, with users being able to send private messages or communicate in groups. What sets Teams apart, however, is the robust collaboration tools included, such as tools for sharing files, planning tasks, scheduling and hosting meetings, and much more!

For more advanced instructions on the configuration and use of Teams, we highly suggest the official documentation provided by Microsoft in their Support Center.
