Overview of Channels

Overview of teams and channels in Microsoft Teams

In Microsoft Teams, teams are groups of people brought together for work, projects, or common interests. 

Teams are made up of channels. Each channel is built around a topic, like “Team Events,” a department name, or just for fun. Channels are where you hold meetings, have conversations, and work on files together. 

The tabs at the top of each channel link to your favourite files, apps, and services.
