LWVWA-Specific Teams Trainings

LWVWA contacted with Enable Consulting to help us organize out work in Teams and to train us on how to use it. Here are videos of those two trainings:

• Teams 101 
• Teams 201 

Topic-Specific Trainings from Enable Consulting

Please ignore that these videos are geared to church clients. All the features work the same way. 

Teams Cheat Sheet 

Getting started with Microsoft Teams is Easy! Download this PDF for an annotated picture of the Teams layout, so you can navigate the features described below. 

Chat 

Perfect for quick, informal chats between you and one or two other people. Replaces text messages from your personal phone to improve work/life balance. Turn your chat into a voice or video call with one click.

Teams & Channels 

Here you’ll find all of the teams that you’re a member of and the Channels that make up your teams. A team is a group of people you work with, and a channel is what you work on with that team. Channels provide the space for project, event, or topic-specific collaboration.

Calls & Meetings 

Connect easily with teammates via voice and video calls, organize and record meetings, and produce webinars with just a few clicks. Teams can even be your phone system, replacing your desk phone and your personal cell phone for church communications (this feature costs extra). 

Calendar & Scheduling Meetings 

See new features available when scheduling Teams meetings. The Teams calendar syncs with your Outlook calendar, so it’s easy to join meetings and reference your schedule without flipping back and forth between Outlook and Teams. 

Files & File Sharing 

Here you’ll find the files that have been shared in your channels, the recent files that you’ve been working on, and your OneDrive files. Wherever it is stored, you can quickly find it in this one place. 

File Sync 

Easily sync your files to your computer for easy access.

Tasks 

To boost productivity, Tasks syncs Microsoft To Do and Microsoft Planner into Teams. Organize your personal tasks and follow up items by setting due dates, priority level, and reminders with To Do. Keep your projects on target by assigning tasks to teammates and monitoring progress with Planner.
