Microsoft Teams Perth – Training to enhance your team’s productivity
Microsoft Teams is an application that helps you to work more effectively with others as a team. It is a comprehensive Digital Workspace or Hub that helps you work more productively with others in your team whoever and wherever they are. Unfortunately, most people still use Teams for video meetings and chat. And it does that very well of course. But in our Microsoft Teams training, you will quickly learn that Microsoft Teams can do more. In fact, a lot more!
In our Microsoft Teams training Perth, you will learn how to:
- customise your views in MS Teams to suit your working style
- use MS Teams Search and various Filters to locate important messages in Chats, Channels etc
- understand when best to use Chat, Group Chat, Channel Conversations and simplify communication within your team
- using the different Channels in Teams to streamline communication
- collaborate on files, like MS Word documents or Excel spreadsheets, with others in real time
- use MS Planner to help manage tasks across your Teams/Channels
- work with many other Microsoft 365 apps and programs inside Teams
- and more if time permits!
Broadly, this half-day training session is designed to help you understand the structure of the Microsoft Teams program. We will show you a lot of tools and features hidden from most people in Microsoft Teams. And most importantly, together we will explore ways you can use Teams to collaborate more effectively with people inside your team or organisation.
Microsoft Teams is a deceptively simple program that is truly built for our time. With many of us currently working from home, Microsoft Teams has the potential to totally transform the way you work together.
