Content

0.288 -> Today I'm going to show you everything you need

3 -> to get started properly with Microsoft Teams.

6.338 -> I'm Leila from xelplus.com and my team and I

9.84 -> have been using Teams for over a year now.

13.2 -> We switched over from Slack

14.84 -> and we're not looking back.

17.07 -> With Teams you can communicate and collaborate

19.641 -> in a single and secure location.

22.98 -> You get messaging, online meeting, calling capabilities,

26.57 -> live collaboration on files,

28.5 -> native integration with office apps,

30.83 -> but also integration to many non-office apps

34.24 -> that you're currently using.

35.97 -> So let me show you how you can get Teams

38.233 -> and how you can start using it properly.

41.186 -> (upbeat music)

47.083 -> You can get to Teams by opening any browser

49.57 -> and going to teams.microsoft.com.

52.01 -> Here you need to log into your business

54.33 -> or educational office account.

56.46 -> Once you login, you can get to Teams

58.72 -> and you can use it over the web,

60.6 -> but I recommend getting the desktop app

62.44 -> for your workstation because it's much easier to work.

65.5 -> You don't have to be in the browser.

67.41 -> Just click here to download it.

69.26 -> It's also available for Mac.

71.27 -> You can also download Teams from the microsoft.com website

74.82 -> under Download Teams.

76.65 -> I'm going to bring up my desktop Teams app.

79.477 -> Now, if it's the first time you're using this

81.45 -> you have to log in.

82.57 -> I've already logged in.

83.63 -> So it's taking me directly to Teams.

86.34 -> On this side, you have menu options.

89.07 -> The one that you're going to use a lot is Teams.

91.78 -> This is where all the action, the collaboration, sharing,

94.86 -> everything happens.

96.2 -> This Teams view that you're seeing

97.9 -> is for an enterprise account.

99.82 -> If you have an education account,

101.47 -> you might see this view instead.

103.48 -> You'll just have to click a team to get to the action.

106.72 -> Now let's get back to the business account.

109.11 -> Up here, you can see the teams that you're assigned to.

112.54 -> So let's assume I'm a Finance Manager, I'm Xelplus

116.45 -> and I belong to two teams.

118.47 -> One is a management team that I share with other managers

121.41 -> in my organization.

122.87 -> And the other is a finance team

124.56 -> that I share with my direct reports.

127.22 -> So usually each team involves different members.

130.09 -> And your view of the teams that you see

132.914 -> depend on your rights.

135.02 -> So if I log in with my account,

137.14 -> I can see an additional team here called Team Leila

140.41 -> which is what we use for our everyday communication.

143.97 -> Inside a team you can have one or more channels.

146.74 -> These are generally organized by topic.

149.34 -> General is there by default,

151.37 -> and you can use this as your main channel,

153.69 -> but you're probably going to have different topics

155.62 -> within the team that you want to keep track of.

158.54 -> So for example, in the finance team, we want to track projects

161.65 -> and training conversations separately.

164.46 -> What if you want to add a new channel?

166.61 -> Well, all we have to do is go to more options here

169.79 -> and add the channel to this.

172.02 -> Depending on your rights,

173.65 -> you might see different options here.

176.09 -> So let's go ahead and add a channel for monthly reporting.

179.29 -> Because let's say this is a topic we want to track separately.

183.05 -> We don't want these conversations to be mixed up

185.57 -> with all the other channels that we have.

188.8 -> Go to add channel, type in the channel name.

192.13 -> You can even add an emoji if you want,

194.8 -> just use the shortcut key Windows Dot,

198.67 -> and add your emoji to this.

201.55 -> You can add a description for your channel

204.12 -> and update the privacy.

206.1 -> Default is that everyone in the team

209.02 -> will have access to this channel,

210.89 -> but you can change that and make it only accessible

213.974 -> to specific people within the team.

217.07 -> In this case, I'm just going to go with the default

219.64 -> and add this channel.

221.42 -> Now we can keep conversations around monthly reporting

224.41 -> separate to other topics.

227.78 -> If you're the team owner, you can add members to the team.

231.39 -> Go back to more options and add a member.

234.64 -> You can search for people within your organization

237.21 -> by just starting to type their name

239.56 -> and then send a request to get them added.

242.1 -> You can also add guests by typing in their email address.

246.35 -> Once you're done, you can send a request.

249.468 -> You'll notice if a channel has a guest

251.846 -> by taking a look at the top right hand corner.

255.27 -> This channel has one guest.

257.026 -> The management channel here has no guests,

260.36 -> only people from the organization.

262.59 -> If a channel is in bold,

264.61 -> it means there is a conversation in there

267 -> that you haven't looked at yet.

269.14 -> Once you're in a channel, the main view is the posts view.

274.05 -> You'll see all the different conversations that are going on

276.95 -> and you can reply to conversations.

279.8 -> You can also give your feedback in terms of emojis.

283.57 -> You also get the option to translate.

286.43 -> So this text is in German, if I go to more options here,

290.48 -> I can translate this.

292.85 -> It's going to try to figure out the original language

295.96 -> and translate it into my team's language.

298.75 -> Translated messages have this icon right here

302.25 -> to show this in the original language.

304.32 -> Again, go and select, see original message.

308.27 -> You can start a new conversation

310.54 -> by selecting new conversation.

312.97 -> Just type in your text.

315.01 -> If you'd like to add line breaks,

317.06 -> use the shortcut key Shift + Enter.

320.03 -> If you'd like to add more texts and add formatting,

324.07 -> click on format.

325.69 -> This is going to give you a lot of formatting options.

329.05 -> In addition, you can add a subject

331.18 -> which is going to help your message stand out more.

334.159 -> You can also add bullet lists, numbered lists,

338.93 -> you can add links, you can even insert tables.

343 -> Pick how many rows and columns you want,

345.97 -> add your table to the message.

347.96 -> If a message is important, you can mark it as important.

352.78 -> You also have the ability to post this message

355.74 -> in multiple channels.

357.18 -> Just select your channel and click on update.

360.72 -> By default messages are shown as conversations.

364.3 -> You can change that to announcements as well.

367.26 -> This makes it even bigger and more noticeable.

370.33 -> You can give your announcement a headline,

372.65 -> select the color scheme that you want

374.7 -> and even add a background picture.

377.49 -> In this case, I'm just going to go back to conversation.

381.72 -> Now, in addition to this,

383.44 -> you can also @ mention specific people

386.4 -> to make sure that they are notified about this message.

390.59 -> Just start typing their name, or select them from the list.

394.72 -> If you want to send everyone in the team a notification,

398.903 -> @ mentioned the channel name.

401.86 -> Here you can use Enter without problems.

404.86 -> Once you're done with your message, click on send.

409.68 -> Talking about getting notifications,

411.53 -> if you're learning something new from this video,

414.14 -> do hit that thumbs up

415.67 -> and consider subscribing to my channel

417.6 -> so you can improve your office productivity skills.

420.25 -> Now we both know that notifications can get out of hand.

424.43 -> To manage your channel notifications,

426.4 -> go to more options, channel notifications.

429.047 -> You can turn these off if you want

431.42 -> or customize the notifications,

433.56 -> depending on how and when you want to see these notifications.

437.98 -> Now, you also have the ability to pin important messages

441.69 -> in a channel.

442.74 -> So for example, let's say if you want to pin this message,

445.31 -> go to more options and pin this.

448.2 -> Pinned messages are going to get this green border

451.55 -> and green icon here.

453.54 -> But they will also disappear from view

456.29 -> as more messages get added.

458.55 -> To view all your pinned items, go to the eye icon here,

462.55 -> so this information icon

464.57 -> and you can see your pinned messages on the bottom here.

468.55 -> When you select the message,

470.46 -> it's going to take you back to the original message.

473.89 -> You can unpin items anytime,

475.741 -> go back to more options and select unpin.

479.772 -> Now, in addition to sending formatted texts

482.9 -> like we saw before,

484.65 -> you also have the ability to send attachments.

487.261 -> You can upload these from your computer, OneDrive

490.438 -> or from Teams and Channels.

493.04 -> You can also send animated emojis.

496.53 -> You also have the option to search for and add GIFs.

501.34 -> So one of my standard ones that I use

503.48 -> as my good morning GIFs with my team when I'm in a good mood

507.46 -> is for example, this one.

509.38 -> Another other cool feature

510.46 -> is the ability to add stickers and memes.

513.43 -> A lot of these are customizable.

515.89 -> Just select the one that you want, update the text,

519.757 -> click on done, and you can send this through.

523.2 -> I'm just going to remove these.

525.61 -> Now, other things you can do from here,

527.85 -> is to schedule a meeting.

529.431 -> You can meet now and have an online meeting right away.

534.07 -> We're going to take a look at this in a second.

536.59 -> You can also add a link to a Microsoft stream video.

540.15 -> So if you've previously recorded a meeting,

543.17 -> you can add the link to that meeting in your other channels.

546.8 -> Another cool feature, is to send a praise to people.

550.41 -> It's a nice way to say, thank you,

552.67 -> recognize people for their courage

554.77 -> or just tell them that they're awesome.

556.66 -> You can type their name here, add a personalized note,

561.15 -> preview it and then send it.

563.97 -> Okay, so these are the main features in posts view.

567.52 -> Now let's take a look at files.

569.54 -> The first tab is available by default for all your channels.

573.91 -> Whenever you or other members share documents in chat,

577.61 -> you can see them automatically in the files view.

581.05 -> You can also directly upload files and folders from here.

585.76 -> You can add new documents directly from here.

589.93 -> Any files you create here are automatically uploaded

592.9 -> to the SharePoint drive for this group.

595.97 -> You can collaborate live on a document here

599.51 -> and your changes will automatically be saved in SharePoint.

603.32 -> This is great because you have protections

606.12 -> as well as collaboration benefits.

608.61 -> So let's say right now another team member

611.29 -> is in this document.

612.91 -> I can have it conversation with them right inside this file.

620.6 -> Any changes we make to this file

622.44 -> are automatically saved in SharePoint.

625.65 -> Now let's say I'm done with the file,

627.76 -> I just need to click close.

629.7 -> If I don't want to make changes directly to this file

632.45 -> but instead I want to create a copy,

634.83 -> I can do that by clicking on more options and copying it.

638.55 -> I also have the ability to download a copy to my desktop.

642.29 -> I can rename documents directly weekly from here,

645.27 -> delete documents or pin important documents to the top.

649.9 -> If you have a business account,

651.61 -> you also have access to Wiki here.

654.41 -> In case you have an education account, you see other tabs

657.66 -> like class notebook assignments and grades.

660.85 -> The purpose of Wiki is like a notebook,

663.19 -> you can use it as a central place to share things

666.32 -> you don't want to get lost in conversations.

668.84 -> For example, best practices, important decisions

671.964 -> and the like.

673.82 -> Every channel has its own Wiki,

676.01 -> the project channel has Wiki in use

678.65 -> and they've even added links to special announcements

681.97 -> and to other files.

683.79 -> It acts as a central hub for important information.

687.46 -> The best part of Teams

688.6 -> is that you can customize your shared workspace

691.042 -> by adding other apps.

693.29 -> Now these can be Microsoft or other third party apps.

697.36 -> So notice you have access to a lot of apps here.

700.758 -> Now the reason you'd want to do that,

703.38 -> is so you don't have to leave Teams

705.97 -> to get to your other apps.

708.47 -> You have one location where you can access everything.

712.01 -> So let's see you use Trello to keep track of your projects.

715.98 -> You can add that specific board from Trello

719.58 -> directly in here so all your team can access it.

722.94 -> First you need to login with Trello,

725.15 -> then you need to select the board that you want to share

728.12 -> with your team.

729.42 -> Let's just add the to-do here and save.

733.44 -> This is going to add the Trello board directly in here.

738.14 -> Now, your team members will have to log into Trello

740.92 -> for authentication and then they can work with this board

744.14 -> directly from within Teams.

746.94 -> If it's hidden, click on the more options here,

750.26 -> and you can see the board.

752.43 -> If you're using Microsoft Planner, you can add that as well.

756.56 -> Select tasks by planner, use an existing plan

760.09 -> or create a new plan and click on save.

763.6 -> Now, there are some great apps in here that you can use.

766.61 -> So for example, Polly or Forms, Lists, and so on.

770.82 -> You can also directly add files as a separate tab to this.

775.36 -> So for example, let's say there is a specific Excel file

779.12 -> that you want to make available as a separate tab.

782.17 -> Select that file.

783.66 -> This is a file that have already uploaded

785.78 -> to my file drive and save.

788.305 -> Now this file is available as a separate tab

792.253 -> in my project channel.

794.86 -> You can also rename these tabs.

797.22 -> Just click on them and rename.

800.609 -> Now let's take a look

802.17 -> at how we can start meetings in a channel.

805.78 -> I'm going to go back to posts view.

807.77 -> To create an online meeting with everyone in a channel,

810.87 -> click on meet.

812.31 -> If you meet now,

813.44 -> you're going to create a meeting right away

815.64 -> that everyone in the channel can see and join.

818.94 -> You have the ability to toggle your camera off or on.

823.14 -> You can adjust your background filter.

825.21 -> So if you have some distractions in the background,

827.44 -> you can blur it or select one of these images.

830.83 -> You can also upload your own custom images.

833.53 -> I'm just going to take mine away

835.273 -> and then select the correct audio.

837.95 -> I'll put myself on mute here and then join now.

841.857 -> This is going to make the meeting visible in the posts area

845.62 -> so that everyone can join.

848.25 -> And what you can also do,

849.92 -> is sent a request to specific people

852.47 -> and ask them to join the meeting.

854.99 -> Now, there is a lot about meetings

857.32 -> and I'll make a separate video about this.

860.19 -> But one of the important functions here

862.47 -> is the ability to share your screen.

864.33 -> So click on this icon and you get to share your desktop,

867.99 -> you can share a specific windows

869.94 -> or a PowerPoint presentation.

872.35 -> I'll just click it again to go back to our view.

875.16 -> You also get the ability to chat with the participants

877.93 -> and get their feedback.

879.276 -> They can raise their hand.

881.448 -> You can also see the participant list from here

885.76 -> and you can also record your meetings.

888.25 -> So click on more options and start recording the meeting.

892.33 -> The recorded meetings are going to get shown in the posts

895.87 -> and they're going to be available from Microsoft Stream.

899.42 -> Once you're done with a meeting, click on leave

902.7 -> and end the meeting.

904.37 -> I'm just going to put on my awkward goodbye face and end.

909.49 -> Now, in addition to being able to meet right away,

912.08 -> you can also schedule a meeting.

914.48 -> Just give your meeting a name.

917.21 -> You can then add required attendees

919.61 -> as well as optional ones.

921.14 -> You can also pick your channel.

922.99 -> So I created the meeting in the general channel of finance

926.14 -> but I can also change it from here.

929.11 -> Once you've added the information to the meeting,

931.96 -> click on send.

933.51 -> The meeting is going to show in the post

935.79 -> but it's also going to show in the calendar

938.07 -> of the people in the team.

940.21 -> If I click on it now, I will see the details,

943.46 -> I'm going to see the link to the Microsoft Teams meeting

947.59 -> which is right here.

949.22 -> I can update the meeting information from here

952.723 -> or I also get to cancel the meeting if I want.

957.14 -> I can also see this meeting in my calendar.

961.27 -> So if I go to calendar view,

963.75 -> I scheduled this meeting for 6:00 PM,

966.43 -> I can see it right here.

968.05 -> This is synced to your Exchange account.

970.33 -> It's going to have all your meetings in one place.

973.09 -> You can manage them from here or from outlook directly.

976.71 -> Now let's take a look at chat now.

979.3 -> Here you can have private one-on-one chats

981.67 -> or group chats with specific people.

983.96 -> Now this house reduce the amount of emails

985.96 -> that are sent around.

987.69 -> To search for someone you haven't chatted with yet,

990.77 -> click on new chat.

992.31 -> Just search for their name and add them.

995.79 -> You can also add multiple people and create group chats.

1000.01 -> Anything that's related to a team topic though,

1002.87 -> should stay in a team unless you need it to be private.

1005.97 -> Because the last thing you want is to manage multiple chats

1009.68 -> and multiple teams.

1011.202 -> Now I'm just going to remove this person

1014.06 -> and just chat with Chris.

1015.87 -> Here you have the same messaging options that we saw before.

1020.26 -> If you're typing too much back and forth,

1022.43 -> you might as well have a video call or an audio call.

1026.15 -> Now, any files that you share with a person

1028.968 -> are going to be inside Files.

1032.13 -> So if I go to my chat with Leila,

1034.761 -> under files I can see any files that we've shared together

1039.41 -> in the chat.

1040.55 -> These are saved to your personal OneDrive for business.

1043.63 -> You can see all of these files if you log into office.com,

1047.18 -> go to OneDrive, under shared, shared by you.

1050.73 -> You can also see the file that has been shared

1052.96 -> with you directly in OneDrive as well.
