Description —
A collaboration and communication platform for groups, work teams and departments. Microsoft Teams provides a cloud workspace for video meetings, group chats, group calendar and file storage/sharing. Teams has persistent chat functionality, a feature that allows for both synchronous and asynchronous chat between Team members.
Teams integrates with other Microsoft Office 365 tools, including Outlook, Word, Excel and SharePoint, as well as other Microsoft and third-party applications.
Microsoft cloud platforms are fully compliant with all regulatory frameworks, but if you are going to store Critical data (formerly Level 1/Confidential) in your Teams site, you need to speak with your departmental IT Support Staff first.
