Overview
This course is the second in a series concentrating on Microsoft Teams. You have started using Teams and conversations. In this course, collaborating with colleagues is explored. You will set advanced meeting options, share, co-edit and manage files in Teams.
The Team Owner role is important. You will undertake the role of the Team owner creating a team and channels, manage team membership and control settings and permissions within the team.
