MASTER MICROSOFT TEAMS WITH THESE SIMPLE TIPS AND TRICKS

Master Microsoft Teams with these Simple Tips and Tricks

Position your marketing team for ongoing success by keeping the following tips and tricks at the front of your mind.

Establish Meeting Rules

When it comes to meetings and processes on Teams, you can't expect everyone to operate the same way — unless rules have been clearly outlined and presented. Create guidelines for your marketing team to ensure everyone is on the same page when using the platform. For some organizations, that could mean setting the expectation that everyone needs to be on camera in meetings or that team members must raise their hands before speaking so that every voice is respected.

Even Clubhouse gives people the power to set meeting rules for the rooms that they moderate. These rules ensure that conversations remain on-topic and engaging.

Whether you are on Clubhouse or in a virtual business meeting, rule-setting is a necessary step for anyone who wants to host positive, productive discussions.

Expedite Marketing Processes With File Tabs

Just as you can bookmark essential websites on your internet browser, you can add tabs that correspond to specific files in Teams for instant access within a chat. File tabs will enable you to speed up your ability to locate and work on critical campaign assets with the click of a button.

Keep Microsoft Teams Clean

It is vital to keep your Teams channels and files aligned with the most current processes and rules. As your team completes projects and evolves, you will most likely need to document new procedures, create private channels, adjust admin rules and change access levels. After all, productivity begins with proper, up-to-date processes.

Make Training Mandatory

If you want your team to be satisfied with Microsoft Teams and increase how often people are using it to collaborate, communicate and connect, they will need to become comfortable using it. Hosting mandatory training around Teams guarantees that everyone understands the benefits of using the platform, which can boost user adoption and satisfaction rates.

Keep an Eye Out for New Integrations

As mentioned earlier in this guide, there are already plenty of applications you can integrate to enhance your teams' experience on the platform. You can whiteboard, play games and have virtual happy hour with colleagues through app integrations. Just be sure to check Teams' storefront from time to time to scope out new, innovative apps that launch. You could find solutions to problems and challenges that your team never even knew it had.

Connect Microsoft Teams' APIs to Other Tools

By connecting Microsoft Team's APIs to other applications, you can bolster team efficiency and connect workflows across platforms.
