from home. However, it necessitates a shift in the way we work and

Despite the fact that you don't get to see your coworkers in person, you have many
meetings throughout the week where you discuss main priorities, brainstorm, review
work, and so on. There are strategies to ensure that online meetings are relevant
and productive while not detracting from your essential work.
Make all Your Meetings More Productive
Schedule a meeting that is convenient for every member of your team using a
scheduling assistant.
Share your screen or a specific window of your choice during a meeting using the
screen sharing option to keep the work transparent within the team.
Blur your video background to remove distractions during the meeting. You can
also use one of the given images or one of your own to replace your background.
Record the important meetings that you want to either go back to and brush up
on some crucial issues or share with others who were unable to attend the meeting
but would like to be kept informed of the agenda and decisions made during the
meeting.

The ideas that come up during a brainstorming
session are often the most creative. When
people work together, they can bring their vision
to the project at hand. While nothing beats a
physical brainstorming session with colorful
post-it notes, markers, and creativity on the
desk, you can have a virtual brainstorming
session that's just as good.
Brainstorm and Organize Your
Team’s Ideas with Whiteboard
WHITEBOARD
Everyone in the meeting can contribute their notes and ideas to the Whiteboard in
Microsoft Teams, just like they could in an offline session.
Benefits of using Whiteboard

Make Use of Available Apps with Microsoft
Teams
The keys to getting the most out of Teams are apps and integrations. Microsoft
Teams is an excellent platform for distance communication and collaboration.
Its ease of integration with other Microsoft and third-party apps eliminates the
need to switch platforms.
Set up frequently used applications in chat and channels that suit your team’s
needs, like Planner. We have already discussed how it helps coordinate
responsibilities and structure tasks. Streamlining your work within Microsoft
Teams ensures that your remote employees don’t need to leave the virtual
workspace to get things done.

7. You'll need to collaborate with your team on documents if you're working remotely.
Microsoft Teams allows you to create Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents within
Teams itself. The secured coauthoring capabilities of Teams eliminate the hassle of
exchanging files through email. You can even start a chat discussion from a
document to discuss the changes.
Collaborate on Files with Your Team

How to organize your files
Keep file sizes to a minimum of 15GB.
Instead of sending attachments, send links to documents.
When building a folder structure in the files tab, do not create too many
subfolders. This simplifies things and keeps total file and folder sizes without
exceeding the limit.
Once files are ready, it is recommended to move into your organization's
primary file-sharing system for easier access and document management.

secure while doing so. Remote work presents two significant challenges: security and
productivity. Companies must devise a strategy to keep the business running smoothly

productivity. Besides, Microsoft Teams offers several built-in security measures to
secure your data.
