Chapter 8
Connecting with Microsoft Teams
IN THIS CHAPTER
Using Chat
Connecting with family and friends
Making video calls
Setting up meetings
Keeping in touch with family and friends is one of the most important things you can do. Windows 11 wants to make this easy for you with some new software called Microsoft Teams that is built into the operating system. Teams is, in a nutshell, communications software. Using Teams, you can easily chat with people you know, make video calls, and even schedule meetings.
Although the Teams software scales up to big, enterprise organizations where thousands of people in different locations can connect and work together, this chapter focuses on the Teams features that are most helpful to you.
You can also connect with people using Skype (see Chapter 9). Skype is also included with Windows 11, but Microsoft is phasing out Skype and it will be gone at some point. Teams is a better way to go now.
