Microsoft Teams brings together the full breadth and depth of Office 365, to provide a true chat-based hub for teamwork and give students and professors the opportunity to create a more open, fluid, and digital environment. Microsoft Teams is built on existing Microsoft technologies woven together by Office 365 Groups. Out of the box, Teams leverages identities stored in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and integrates with the other services within Office 365, to create a SharePoint online site and an Exchange Online group mailbox for each team created. Anyone with a business or consumer email account, such as Outlook, Gmail, or others, can participate as a guest in Teams. All guests in Teams are covered by the same compliance and auditing protection as the rest of Office 365, and guests can be managed securely within Azure AD. Admins can centrally manage how guests participate within their Office 365 environment and easily view, add, or revoke a guest’s access to the host tenant. Teams provides a persistent chat capability, calling and meetings, easy access to other components of Office 365 as well as a robust extensibility story. This provides a hub for teamwork that is appropriate for schools and everyone in between.
