With Microsoft Teams on your PC, Mac, or mobile device, you can:

• Pull together a Team
• Use chat instead of email
• Securely edit files at the same time
• See likes, @mentions, and replies with just a single tap
• Customize it by adding notes, web sites, and apps
• In the cloud so everyone can work together no matter where they are

With chat, you can have private one-on-one or group conversations that are not in the public team channel. And with calls, you can make calls or check your history or voice mail.

Start a chat

1. Select the New chat icon in the top bar (square with a pencil in it).

3. Select the down arrow to add a name to your chat group.

Make video and audio calls from a chat

• Select Video call or Audio call to call someone directly from a chat.

Use Recent and Favorites

• On the left side of the app, you'll see your Recent conversations as well as your Favorites.
