Teams etiquette provides guidelines for proper use of Microsoft Teams within an organization. Some key points covered include:
- Etiquette rules like keeping profiles up to date, using channels properly for topic-based conversations, and guidelines for chat messages and meetings.
- Governance involves managing the lifecycle of Teams from creation through archiving/deletion according to different levels from personal to organizational.
- Administrative tools are available for managing Teams including policies for naming, guest access, and expiration/retention of content.
- Files and content are stored in associated SharePoint sites while conversations remain searchable even after archiving or deleting Teams.

Quick, transitive, low importance “Want to talk about this script ?
Making decisions, group think

main character ?
External, formal “We’d like you to star in our movie
Personal, confidential “We’re firing the director
Seeking help, crowdsourcing “Who knows about underwater shoots?”
Informational, inspirational “We see that superhero movies are big.”
Strategic “NDA: We’re planning to direct a superhero
movie
