2. FUNCTIONS
MICROSOFT TEAMS IS A
COLLABORATION APP THAT HELPS
YOUR TEAM STAY ORGANIZED AND
HAVE CONVERSATIONS—ALL IN
ONE PLACE. HERE'S A QUICK LOOK
AT THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF TEAMS.

3.  Teams - Find channels to belong to or create
your own. Inside channels you can hold on-
the-spot meetings, have conversations, and
share files.
 Meetings - See everything you’ve got lined
up for the day or week. Or, schedule a
meeting. This calendar syncs with your
Outlook calendar.
 Calls - In some cases, if your organization has
it set up, you can call anyone from Teams,
even if they’re not using Teams.
 Activity - Catch up on all your unread
messages, @mentions, replies, and more.

4. 1. Teams streamlines work and saves time
 As Microsoft’s “hub for teamwork”, Microsoft
Teams brings together chat, calls, meetings,
Microsoft 365 apps, and third-party tools in one
centralized location.
2. Teams hosts more effective video meetings
 Videoconferencing has become a mainstay of life
during the pandemic, and improved video
meetings are one of the many benefits of
Microsoft Teams for distributed work.
Advantages
Top 5 benefits of using Microsoft Teams for
distributed work:

5. 3. Teams helps you collaborate seamlessly
 Leveraging Microsoft Teams collaboration capabilities
enables you to move beyond transactional messages
and meetings and focus on the flow of work.
4. Teams makes conversations and connections more
meaningful
 People in a distributed workforce still crave human
connection. A host of new Microsoft Teams features
make interactions more natural, engaging, and fun.
5. Teams keeps everyone informed
 Now more than ever, it’s vital for businesses to keep
employees informed and on the same page—
wherever they work. Integrated Teams apps help you
communicate more effectively with employees.

6. LIMITATIONS
1. Too many similar tools
 The biggest stumbling stone for Microsoft Teams is,
surprisingly, other Microsoft tools. With the plethora of
options, people are still very confused about which tool to
use in which situation. It’s up to Microsoft to educate their
users about their tools. Check out our infographic below to
get familiar with some of the most popular Microsoft 365
apps.
2. No unified search for all products
 Even though Microsoft recommends using Teams for specific
team-related conversations, and Yammer for general
company announcements, people are still using both
platforms interchangeably. Since there’s no unified search
tool for all Microsoft 365 conversations, it may become a bit
tricky if you don’t remember where you had a certain chat.

7. 3. Unnecessary consumption of storage
 By default, everybody in the organization can create a team.
It can result in an unnecessary creation of teams and stuffing
up storage space. The good news is you can restrict team-
creating permission to a set of users, but doing so requires a
bit of handiwork. First, you need to create a separate security
group with the people who you want to create teams, and
then run a bit of PowerShell commands.
4. Lack of notifications
 Should you try to make a new team with a name that already
exists, you won’t get any heads up on it, so you can end up
with the two or more identically named teams. Not only
does this create confusion, but it also unnecessarily
consumes your resources.However, there’s a workaround for
this situation. Prior to making a new team, you can check
whether the name of the team is already taken by entering
the name in the search bar. You will get a list of all the
existing teams and avoid the mistake of duplicating the
name.

8. 5. A limited number of channels
 The number of channels is limited to 200 public and 30
private channels per team. Although this may not be a
problem for smaller organizations, others can find
themselves in a tight spot. If you surpass this limit, you will
have to delete some of the channels. Note that shared files
remain in the SharePoint site as backup storage.
