Superb video. I’ve used Sharepoint for years but focus on document storage. This has been a great help. Thanks George U.K.

With MS Loop, MS Teams, already being used for information storage and sharing, how should Sharepoint be used without being redundant?

This may seem like a stupid question.. would anyone use this as a customer facing website?
Thank you!

Thanks for uploading this. However, this is not a complete guide for beginners. You don't explain what SharePoint is, what is does, who uses it, etc. You assume we know all of that and dive right in.
For example, what ARE 'sites'? What ARE 'pages' and 'news' etc? You say that SharePoint has content from across SharePoint within an organization that we have access to. What does this mean? Does this mean that any document/info that has ever been shared with you from other org users gets collected in SharePoint automatically? Or do other users in the organization log into SharePoint and manage access to docs/data from there?
Is SharePoint essentially the main application Microsoft offers for managing information within an organization? So it is used for knowledge management? Then why does it have lists? So is it a tool for project management? Why is there a separate 'lists' application when SharePoint also has lists?

I thought you said "beginners." Don't you think you might have led with "here's what sharepoint is for, and here's what sharepoint does"...?
