In Microsoft Teams, teams are groups of people that connect for work, projects or common interests.

Overview of teams and channels

Teams are made up of two types of channels — standard (available and visible to everyone) and private (focused, private conversations with a specific audience).

Each channel is built around a topic like “Team Events,” a department name, or just for fun. Channels are where you hold meetings, have conversations, and work on files together.

Channels are where you hold meetings, have conversations, and work on files together.

At the top of each channel, you’ll find tabs. These are links to your files, apps, and services.

Using private channels

If you need to have focused, private conversations with specific people on your team, create a private channel.

Most channels are standard ones. With a private channel, members of the team must be specifically added to participate in it and see content and to see it appear in the list of channels.

Tip: Send email to a channel

Declutter your inbox by sending an email directly to everyone in a channel. This keeps important communications together in one place for easy access.
