3 new features in Microsoft Teams

There are finally 3 new functions in Microsoft Teams. Get to know these in the following blog post, they are presented individually and are a continuation of the previous updates.

 

 

1. Create up to 1000 channels

Teamwork and communication take place in teams channels instead of. A channel is a place where a team can share messages, tools, and files. Each channel is dedicated to a specific topic, department or project.

In the graphic you can see that the Mark 8 project team has, for example, the channels “General”, “Design”, “Digital Assets Web” and two other channels. All conversations, meetings, files, and apps in the Design channel are design-related, and everything in this channel is visible to everyone on the Mark 8 Project team. So channels are where the work gets done.

 

Do you need a separate area or workgroup for a project?

There is now a new channel for this. Create up to 1000 standard or shared channels in new and existing teams without risking running out of space or having another team created for your workgroup. Private channel support will be available soon.

• Standard channels are open to all team members , and everything posted is searchable by others.
• Private channels are intended for discussions that should not be open to all team members.
• Shared channels are used to collaborate with people inside and outside your team or organization.

 

To always keep an overview, you can show or hide the channels

After the General tab, channels are organized alphabetically. You can't change the order, but you can show or hide them. Choose More options  next to a canal and then Ein- or hide .

Do you want to display a team on your list again? Scroll to the bottom of the page and search under Hidden teams the team you want and select More options > Fade in .
