Discover the New Microsoft Teams Features
Microsoft Teams has replaced Skype for Business as the new Office 365 Intelligent Communications client. Microsoft Teams is your one stop shop for collaboration, calls and meetings within your modern workplace.
Microsoft has released a complete roadmap in order to help transition your organization from Skype for Business to Microsoft Teams. Teams is fully integrated with Skype for Business features and functionalities to meet all of your chat, meetings and calling requirements.
In this blog post, we will help you discover some of the new communication features that have been added to Microsoft Teams.
Messaging
There is no need for your organization to use the chat features within Skype for Business with the new unified contacts, unified presence and federated chat in Microsoft Teams. Your team now has the ability to message and share files in real-time within a single platform. Microsoft Teams also brings a unique and fun chat experience that includes emojis, GIFs and stickers.
Meetings
Microsoft Teams includes new cloud-based meeting recording that can support meetings of up to 250 participants. You now have the ability to host live events, host meetings that consist of multiple organizations, access a meeting lobby where you can approve or deny dial-in callers and have access to dial-in support.
Calling
With support, call queues, auto-attendant, consultative transfer, do-not-disturb, call forwarding to a group and out of office support, your organization can have a full calling experience.
