Microsoft Teams is a robust platform for seamless collaboration, enabling effective teamwork regardless of geographical boundaries. It is intricately intertwined with the Microsoft cloud, granting access to the full spectrum of Microsoft 365's potent tools and applications. Microsoft Teams empower users to manage discussions, share files, arrange meetings, and engage in real-time collaboration with colleagues. This workshop will comprehensively cover everything essential for optimizing your utilization of Microsoft Teams. We will start with an introductory overview of the platform and then help you through its initial setup and configuration. Subsequently, we will deep-dive into best practices tailored for various scenarios, including remote team management, conducting productive meetings, and fostering project collaboration.

Furthermore, we will explore the intricate interplay between Teams and other Microsoft applications like Viva, Loop, SharePoint, OneDrive for Business, and the Power Platform. You will learn to leverage these tools to streamline workflows and boost productivity.

Throughout the workshop, we will also address crucial subjects such as administration, management, policies, governance, and the integration of application extensions. Additionally, we will explore the array of chat options and adaptive cards available within Teams. By the workshop's conclusion, you will comprehensively understand Teams' functionality and how to harness its potential to enhance collaboration within your organization and its administration.

To fully benefit from the hands-on segment of the workshop, participants are advised to bring a laptop equipped with a demo environment. While tablets or phones can be utilized, they may need to provide the optimal experience for completing the practical exercises.
