Some of these include&#58;</p><p><br></p><ul><li>1.&#160; Chats and Teams Channels&#58; This is a fundamental feature that allows team members to communicate instantly. You can use one-on-one chat, group chat, or team-wide communication in a channel. Channels can be dedicated to specific projects, teams, or topics, making communication streamlined and organized.<br></li><li>2.&#160; Audio and Video Calling&#58; Microsoft Teams enables both one-on-one and group audio and video calls. With a good internet connection, you can have clear and uninterrupted calls. Video meetings also support background blur and custom background features.<br></li><li>3.&#160; File Sharing and Collaboration&#58; Teams is integrated with Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365). You can share, co-author, and collaborate on files in real time using Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and OneNote without leaving the Teams environment.<br></li><li>4.&#160; Meeting Scheduling and Recording&#58; You can schedule meetings directly from Teams, and these can sync with your Outlook calendar. Teams also allows you to record meetings, providing automated transcriptions and the ability to bookmark important points for later review.<br></li><li>5.&#160; Task Management and Assignments&#58; In Teams, you can create tasks, assign them to team members, and track their progress. This feature is particularly useful for project management.<br></li><li>6.&#160; Screen Sharing&#58; During meetings, you can share your screen or a specific application window with others. This is useful for presentations, demos, or collaborative work.<br></li><li>7.&#160; Integration with Other Apps&#58; Teams supports integration with a variety of third-party applications like Trello, Asana, Github, and many more. This makes it a centralized hub for work.<br></li><li>8.&#160; Security and Compliance&#58; Microsoft Teams has robust security measures in place, including two-factor authentication and data encryption, to ensure that your company's data is secure. It also meets numerous industry compliance standards.<br></li><li>9.&#160; Breakout Rooms&#58; This feature allows you to split your Teams meetings into smaller groups to facilitate brainstorming sessions or workshops.<br></li><li>10.&#160; Together Mode&#58; To create a more engaging and collaborative meeting experience, Together Mode shows participants in a shared background, making it feel like you're sitting in the same room.<br></li><li>11.&#160; Whiteboard&#58; Teams has a built-in digital whiteboard that can be used during meetings for brainstorming, explaining concepts, or collaborative work.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Please note that some features may have evolved or been added since my last training data in September 2021, so it's best to check the latest updates from Microsoft.</p><p><br></p><ol><li>✅ What's New in Microsoft Teams - February 2023<br>[<a data-cke-saved-href="https&#58;//techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams-blog/what-s-new-in-microsoft-teams-february-2023/ba-p/3755049" href="https&#58;//techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams-blog/what-s-new-in-microsoft-teams-february-2023/ba-p/3755049">https&#58;//techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams-blog/what-s-new-in-microsoft-teams-february-2023/ba-p/3755049</a>]</li><li>✅ Avatars in Teams Meetings <a data-cke-saved-href="http&#58;//insider.office.com/en-us/blog/avatars-f" href="http&#58;//insider.office.com/en-us/blog/avatars-f">insider.office.com/en-us/blog/avatars-f<br></a>[<a data-cke-saved-href="https&#58;//insider.office.com/en-us/blog/avatars-for-microsoft-teams" href="https&#58;//insider.office.com/en-us/blog/avatars-for-microsoft-teams">https&#58;//insider.office.com/en-us/blog/avatars-for-microsoft-teams</a>]</li><li>✅ Teams Meetings Presenter Window improvements<br>[<a data-cke-saved-href="https&#58;//insider.office.com/en-us/blog/presenter-window-improvements-while-screen-sharing" href="https&#58;//insider.office.com/en-us/blog/presenter-window-improvements-while-screen-sharing">https&#58;//insider.office.com/en-us/blog/presenter-window-improvements-while-screen-sharing</a>]</li><li>✅ PowerPoint Live in Teams Meetings&#58;<br>​​​​​​​[<a data-cke-saved-href="https&#58;//insider.office.com/en-us/blog/magnify-slides-in-powerpoint-and-powerpoint-live-in-teams" href="https&#58;//insider.office.com/en-us/blog/magnify-slides-in-powerpoint-and-powerpoint-live-in-teams">https&#58;//insider.office.com/en-us/blog/magnify-slides-in-powerpoint-and-powerpoint-live-in-teams</a>]</li></ol><p><br></p><p><br></p></div></div><div data-sp-canvascontrol="" data-sp-canvasdataversion="1.0" data-sp-controldata="&#123;&quot;controlType&quot;&#58;0,&quot;pageSettingsSlice&quot;&#58;&#123;&quot;isDefaultDescription&quot;&#58;true,&quot;isDefaultThumbnail&quot;&#58;true,&quot;globalRichTextStylingVersion&quot;&#58;0,&quot;rtePageSettings&quot;&#58;&#123;&quot;contentVersion&quot;&#58;4&#125;,&quot;isEmailReady&quot;&#58;false&#125;&#125;"></div></div>
