White Paper: Getting Started with Microsoft Teams

Last week we shared some numbers from Microsoft that showed the momentum behind their Microsoft Teams collaboration service on Office 365.

Although it is still in preview mode, the service is doing very well and continues to grow not only the number of users but the feature set as well.

The Microsoft IT Showcase team has recently published a new white paper to help Office 365 subscribers, specifically admins who will be owners of these teams for their organizations, so that they can begin using this new tool in their networks.

This three page Microsoft document is available in the Microsoft Download Center and is broken down as follows to get you moving forward:

  • Roles

  • Building your team

    • Connect or start a team

    • Office 365 Groups

  • Adding Tabs

    • Add a tab for a SharePoint document library

    • Add a custom OneNote tab

    • Add a tab for a Power BI Dashboard

    • Add a tab for Planner

  • Connectors

    • Add a connector

  • Permissions and settings

    • Change member permissions and settings

Of course we did several how to's about Microsoft teams after the service was released in preview last year so you can check those out as well:

About the Author

Richard Hay

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
