How to Use the Channels Function in Microsoft Teams

This video will explain what Channels are, how you use them and will even walk you through how to create a Channel in the Microsoft Teams App. Channels are team-based collaboration areas accessible via the Teams tab underneath the Chat menu in the left-hand navigation bar in Teams. The video will show how you can use Channels for conversations, meetings or share files with your team members regarding specific topic, departments, or a project a team is working on. You will see how the tabs at the top of your Channels can link to your files, apps, services and how you can add additional apps.
