This is the best overview I have seen anywhere! No fluff. No chit chat. Solid info. Thank you! I broke down the time stamps for my users, so I thought I'd share it with you.

I've been in technology for 30 years, you are one of the best presenters I have ever come across, great job!

I have started to use this app recently as I am now working from home. My employer has sent me a bunch of written instructions, but I am visual/experimental learner so cannot be dealing with that. I must say this is the best tutorial I have seen; very easy to follow.

Never used Teams, but after seeing this I am intrigued. Honestly, it has so many features. It's like messenger, facebook post, discord channel, zoom meeting, ms office in one place! Can't wait to use this app.

I've started using Teams recently, since I've been working at home and I didn't find it very easy to work with at the beginning. So your video was a great help, in a summed up way you gave us an overall view of teams. Thank you!

By far, this was the most helpful and informative bit of instruction and introduction to Microsoft Teams that I've accessed. Truly well done. I recommend it enthusiastically.

I would have loved to see more on how to use Teams for school purposes: how to use whiteboard during a meeting, how it prevents from intruders to enter meetings.

I'm starting a new job on Monday and they use Teams. They said they will teach me, but I feel so much better after watching this! Thanks!

Kevin, thank you for this wonderful tutorial. My organization is in the process of migrating everything to Office 365, and they're implementing apps incrementally. We will soon be using MS Teams, and being the techie (geek) that I am, I always want to know how to use applications as soon as we have them. Your tutorial provided me with a good understanding of the functionality, so once the organization pushes it out to us, I should be comfortable using it.

We recently got MS Teams. Must admit it’s the best collaboration tool i have ever used. This overview session is so good for anyone to begin with.

Thanks Kevin - really helpful. Having to get up to speed quickly and this has given me a fighting chance! Thanks again.

[dawndipre]

I've been ignoring Team since my organization launched it. I haven't had time to teach myself. In 20 minutes you gave me a great job off to be able to work really well in this platform. Thanks

I swear if I have to install one more app-

Very helpful video. Has been using team in the last 6 months, it was a bit overwhelming. Now I am going to use it everyday. This video covers everything. Well done!

[kimh]

Great tutorial on Teams. The experience for me was spot on. Thank you for taking time to put this together

[ShahriarMohammadShoyeb]

Best overview about Microsoft Teams and has been explained clearly and most importantly covered most of the part of Microsoft Teams without unnecessary talking.

[reneecornelius]

Thank so much for the video!! My whole team recently went to work from home due to coronovirus....we needed this!!!!

[caroljcatlin]

A beginner, I am accessing Teams because our group will be using it next month instead of ZOOM. There's a lot to LEARN! I've actually backed up the video to listen to your presentation to help it sink in! ") Bit by bit. Thank you for making it available.

[Aliusmi]

The most simple and well explained video I’ve watched on the YouTube. Understandable and easy and made me subscribe.👍🏻

[mariannesitcov]

Thank you! I am a teacher and this was so much better than any training my school gave us. I appreciate it!
