Good news! Microsoft Teams desktop application has been rolled out. With over 82 per cent (since the rollout of Friday 13 March) of ACU staff having access to the application, this rollout now means everyone has the opportunity to collaborate, manage documents, and chat with their colleagues. For more information, check out the IT Advisory email sent on Thursday 12 March.
To help get you started on your Teams journey, we wanted to share some of these handy Teams features.
Check out some of these handy Teams features
Microsoft Whiteboard
Liven up your online collaboration session by using Microsoft Whiteboard. You can work together to draw up diagrams, draft out plans and brainstorm (you’ll never get stuck with the half-dried marker) and then save your whiteboards straight to your Teams space. Whiteboard works with touch screens and mice, so you can collaborate and share ideas from anywhere.
Background blur
Working from anywhere isn’t always pretty. Save your colleagues from distraction (and your own dignity) with the background blur feature. Blur will help your meeting attendees focus on your face, and not on the laundry pile behind you!
Planner
Got a big project on the go? Plan and manage work across your team with the Microsoft Planner tab.
Files tab
Wouldn’t it be great if all your Team files were in one place? Microsoft Teams has got your back. You can build your own file storage structure, link to live documents, edit, search and download in one completely secure platform.
Wiki
Retain valuable knowledge and collaborate in real time by building a Microsoft Teams wiki. Wiki is a pre-formatted text document perfect for instructions, histories and processes. A good wiki will help your new people get up-to-speed, and keep everyone in the team on the same page.
