I disagree since 99% of the Teams program is fluff. What a bunch of useless, overly complicated garbage crammed into one stupid thing. Trying to consolidate all programs into one mega program might sound good, but it is stupid. Most people will only use one or two functions of this program that has a thousand functions. What a garbage program. If we want team voice chat and messaging, we use Discord. If we want video conferencing, we use Zoom. If we want shared calendars, we use Gmail. If we want file sharing, we use dropbox. But how many people use ALL of those five things I just mentioned? Probably very very few. and that is just five functions. Expand that to hundreds? Forget it. What a shame.
I've started using Teams recently, since I've been working at home and I didn't find it very easy to work with at the beginning. So your video was a great help, in a summed up way you gave us an overall view of teams. Thank you!
No application is easy to work with at the start. Things like these are a great option. However, I would suggest you start messing around with the controls and see what does what. And by doing that, you might get the hang of it. It's like a phone.
Never used Teams, but after seeing this I am intrigued. Honestly, it has so many features. It's like messenger, facebook post, discord channel, zoom meeting, ms office in one place! Can't wait to use this app.
I have started to use this app recently as I am now working from home. My employer has sent me a bunch of written instructions, but I am visual/experimental learner so cannot be dealing with that. I must say this is the best tutorial I have seen; very easy to follow.
Best overview about Microsoft Teams and has been explained clearly and most importantly covered most of the part of Microsoft Teams without unnecessary talking.
By far, this was the most helpful and informative bit of instruction and introduction to Microsoft Teams that I've accessed. Truly well done. I recommend it enthusiastically.
Very helpful video. Has been using team in the last 6 months, it was a bit overwhelming. Now I am going to use it everyday. This video covers everything. Well done!
I would have loved to see more on how to use Teams for school purposes: how to use whiteboard during a meeting, how it prevents from intruders to enter meetings.
This was the best introduction to Teams I've seen: perfect pace, understandable, easy to follow. Am very glad I found it after trying a bunch of other tutorials. Thank you so much!
I've been ignoring Team since my organization launched it. I haven't had time to teach myself. In 20 minutes you gave me a great job off to be able to work really well in this platform. Thanks
This is a superb intro to Teams - I have posted this across my company as we start to use teams during the Lockdown. BY FAR THE VERY BEST EXPLANATION!!! Well done
Hi I'm also interested in this. In Sharepoint you have the option to create Choice Columns, but I don't see the dropdown list to select a choice on Teams. Nice feature, but not to intuitive to use
Thank Kevin. Great tutorial! Love your pacing, clear delivery. I am fairly new to Teams, was just using what I needed to in order to keep up with a project. Your tutorial has filled in the 'gaps' for me.
Brilliant overview of Teams. I am applying for a job and they use Microsoft teams as their CRM. Watching this video has given me a great overview of how Teams works. I my previous job I used SLACK. I have to say just watching the tutorial I love the richness that Teams offers. Fingers crossed I get the job and get to use Teams in real time.
Kevin, thank you for this wonderful tutorial. My organization is in the process of migrating everything to Office 365, and they're implementing apps incrementally. We will soon be using MS Teams, and being the techie (geek) that I am, I always want to know how to use applications as soon as we have them. Your tutorial provided me with a good understanding of the functionality, so once the organization pushes it out to us, I should be comfortable using it.
A beginner, I am accessing Teams because our group will be using it next month instead of ZOOM. There's a lot to LEARN! I've actually backed up the video to listen to your presentation to help it sink in! ") Bit by bit. Thank you for making it available.
Great tutorial. Well conducted and paced. Easy to follow. Starting to migrate my dept into Teams for a more centralized collaboration model and I can already see the possibilities! Thank you.
Great video, my employer has just started using Teams and I have to come up with some workflows for how to manage sensitive information for my national team. This was very helpful as a first starting point in learning about it.
Kevin, you've become my must-watch TH-cam channel. Thank you. Keep posting these awesome videos related to Microsoft, especially Teams. Extremely helpful, thanks to you I've been more efficient.
You very much glossed over the requirements for using Teams. As I understand it as a single home user I cannot use Teams, I must have an association with a company or school that has Microsoft 365. This does not make sense to me. 1:10 of video. This means that if someone wants to, for example, interview me for a job while I am at home on my home PC or Mac, this is not possible?
My company had us attend a webinar on teams because we transitioning away from Skype business and this seems to be a more efficient method. Especially working remotely. The webinar lasted an hour and I honestly tuned out after about 10 minutes. I watched this video and. It only do I have a pretty good understanding of the teams I have ideas on how to use it for my team that o work with. I’m more excited to be using it now then I was after the webinar. This video taught me more in 20 minutes than the hour long webinar.
I've been trying to find instructions on how to add attendees to a recurring Teams meeting without sending an update to everyone who is already invited. Perhaps we need training on setting up meetings in Teams.
Excellent video! I am preparing for a job interview and your video was so helpful! Microsoft Teams is a preferred requirement for the job but I have never used it before. After watching your video, I feel much more confident I can comfortably learn to use Microsoft Teams for the job. Thanks again!
I love your videos. I've learned more from your tutorials than I've ever learned anywhere else. Every time I watch one, I think "Oh, I need to share this with my team!" This one is no exception. You rock!
Thanks for this. Very interesting. Is there a specific tutorial on setting up a learning workshop for external, not part of your company, contacts/clients?
Teams was installed at my workplace and everyone given access... but no Training ⛔📖. Of the 250 workers, 200+ are confused as hell, 20 are just confused, and 30 (administrators/dept head/managers) think this is the greatest thing in the world. Sometimes a "Great Stapler" makes a "Lousy Hammer." Common question at work, "my haven't you responded to my Teams message?" "I don't get on the computer but once a week..." "It's company policy you have to log in daily..." Nobody logs in daily. Just the elect 30... who got and paid for Teams. Seems to work for them.👍
Hey Nick - I use the Rode NT USB mic as my main mic. I really like the mic and I did a video on it a little while back. th-cam.com/video/uSiJNrD5Ez8/w-d-xo.html It'll set you back about $170.
Good overview, but MS Teams is pathetic. No way to login to multiple accounts if you work in more than one organizations. Slack has that. Audio and video quality is abysmal. Zoom has very professional, high quality audio and video. The list goes on and on. MS Teams quality is even worse than skype.
Harry M , sorry but I disagree, MS Teams is not perfect but is not pathetic at all. I work at a big company ( several thousands of employees) and around 75% of us have been using it intensively from home for the last 6 months, sharing files and having meetings, and chats all day, and the quality of service has been pretty good in general.
Very very helpful. Now I want to use Microsoft Team. My organization provided a how to video, and it had way to much information and it put me to sleep. I will be sharing this video to my office, so we can start using this right away. Thanks.
Very great video Mr Kevin Stratvert what you explain about Microsoft Teams in very simplest manner . From that video I learned about what is Microsoft Teams and it uses .
Thanks Kevin, please how did you achieve the 'status' and the 'index' column in your video (check time 5:53)? I will really love to know how to achieve that
Hi Kevin, thanks for the video. Would you know how to receive notifications and see them from working in multiple company Teams environment ? While working in one company with Teams and being able to see Teams notifications from another company, without hitting toggle in the top right corner to switch over to that company and then receiving the notifications?
I have been invited to participate in a summit and I need to have their background to use. When I click the link for teams that was share it does not allow me to add a backdrop. there are to spaces that show one is to blur the background and the other is a white butter that cannot be accessed. So I downloaded team for me and I cannot connect to their team platforms because it says i'm the manger so what am I doing wrong.
Hello Kevin, thanks for this tutorial. My name is Rosben and I am a language teacher and translator in Mexico. I have been trying to share with my colleagues this wonderful tutorial about Microsoft Temas but I noticed that it does not have subtitles in Spanish and some of them do not speak English. I would like to generate a translation in Spanish and if you are interested and liked it you can add it to the video as subtitles. Please let me know if this is something that interest you. I am not trying to profit from it, I just want to help make it available for others because I find your tutorials pretty useful.
It's so great to watch and listen to an instructional/informative presentation without filler words (ah, um, okay, like, you know...etc). It lets me know that the presenter knows his/her topic and can present well. Thank you for an excellent presentation.
Best overview I've found. One recommendation though. Please enhance the size & colour of the mouse pointer/cursor so that it doesn't get lost from sight as it flies around the screen.
I really enjoyed this video. Our office is going to start using Microsoft Teams and I knew nothing about it. I enjoyed your presentation, what you went over and the different things you showed.
So gmails can not have a Team account? Can you also make sure in China it is going to be quicker and easier to use as I want to organise an international Forum organisation and conference with lots of people in China who seem to have problems to sign up and log in

@@cobes11 Yeah but in secure environments many of those are not very good so Teams has a role there.

I'm starting a new job on Monday and they use Teams. They said they will teach me, but I feel so much better after watching this! Thanks!
Great tutorial on Teams. The experience for me was spot on. Thank you for taking time to put this together
Very helpful video. Has been using team in the last 6 months, it was a bit overwhelming. Now I am going to use it everyday. This video covers everything. Well done!
I would have loved to see more on how to use Teams for school purposes: how to use whiteboard during a meeting, how it prevents from intruders to enter meetings.
Best tutorial I have watched. Broken down into nice sized sections and only relevant information given. Thanks.
Thanks Kevin - really helpful. Having to get up to speed quickly and this has given me a fighting chance! Thanks again.
This video is by far better than the whole of Microsoft support combined.
This was the best introduction to Teams I've seen: perfect pace, understandable, easy to follow. Am very glad I found it after trying a bunch of other tutorials. Thank you so much!

Interested as a few others to see how to do the status column on files tab- pretty sweet! Thanks- great overview

Perfect length .. not too long ... a good foundations video to build on! Easy to follow along and stay focused on what was being presented.
I swear if I have to install one more app-
School: *Homework on powerschool*
Lol 😂
I have like 10 apps for my online classes
Me too...sick of all this disparate tech
We recently got MS Teams. Must admit it’s the best collaboration tool i have ever used. This overview session is so good for anyone to begin with.

The most simple and well explained video I’ve watched on the TH-cam. Understandable and easy and made me subscribe.👍🏻
This was very helpful. Great pace. I came here because interviewed with a company that uses MS Teams and I've never used it before.

Not 'there' teacher...it's 'their' teacher.

When i use my laptop it glitches and throws me off and i have to rejoin again and again , do u have any suggestions , how to fix it
Brawl stars lol
I want to say thank you for walking us through Teams I feel more confident now thanks so so much.🤗
