Microsoft Teams 365 for Beginners

This Microsoft Teams 365 for Beginners course is an online course built for anyone who needs practical Microsoft Teams training for hybrid or remote work. It covers chat, video meetings, channels, and file sharing, giving you a working knowledge of Microsoft 365 collaboration tools used across most modern offices.

Many learners start Teams training because they feel lost switching between chats, calls, channels, and the calendar, unsure where shared documents actually sit. This training grounds you first, covering navigation, status settings, and the difference between a quick chat and an organised team channel.

You then move into hands-on skills: formatting messages, setting file permissions, creating teams and channels, and searching across people, files, and conversations. Meeting skills round out the course, including scheduling with the built-in scheduler, screen sharing, virtual backgrounds, and using PowerPoint Live and Excel Live during video calls.

The course puts these tools into real workplace tasks. You post an announcement to a channel, co-author a spreadsheet live with a teammate, run a webinar with a registration form, and manage notifications so urgent messages get through during a busy day. Search skills help you retrieve a file or message in seconds.

By the end of this Microsoft Teams course, you will know how to manage chats, channels, meetings, and files without confusion. It suits administrative staff, new hires, project coordinators, and anyone starting Microsoft Teams training for the first time.

In this course, you will learn how to:

  • Distinguish between Teams chats, channels, and calls for daily communication.
  • Set a Microsoft Teams status message to show your availability.
  • Format Teams messages with text styles, tables, and hyperlinks.
  • Manage file permissions when sharing documents in Teams chat.
  • Configure standard, private, and shared Teams channels for security.
  • Post channel announcements and reply in threads to stay organised.
