How to Utilize All of What Microsoft Teams has to Offer and Customize It to Your Needs

JMA Consulting

The Microsoft product managers and engineers certainly anticipated the needs of small and midsized organizations when they developed their Teams product. The pandemic escalated the shift to remote and hybrid workforces. No longer did employees lean on their cubicle wall to collaborate with their peers or huddle in a physical conference room. 

Microsoft Teams combines in one product video conferencing, chat rooms, file sharing, and project collaboration. And all this functionality utilizes cloud computing and data encryption to put critical information at your fingertips quickly and securely. Teams offer collaboration tools in one product, but Microsoft also allows you to customize Teams to your needs. 

Customize Apps

Have you counted the number of apps you use daily? Wouldn’t you like to access all those tools from one screen? Microsoft Teams provides a personal app store and enables you to customize the store as well as the apps you add to the store. Now you can find those useful tools all in one place, create custom apps incorporating Teams features, label those apps with your custom name, and offer them in your Microsoft Teams store!

Configure Meetings

Create your own webinars and online meetings and configuring them to your needs. Customize your webinar registration page and track the effectiveness of the presentation by viewing attendee reports. To ensure all participants connect with the discussion, employ Teams Closed Captions functionality.

Control Workflow

Microsoft Teams not only facilitates people-to-people collaboration, it also allows your apps to connect and support workflow activities.  Using Microsoft Power Automate, you can link your apps to automate repetitive tasks or to create workflows for simple to advanced activities.
