Microsoft Teams is built on existing Microsoft technologies woven together by Office 365 Groups. Out of the box, Microsoft Teams makes use of identities in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and integrates with the other services within Office 365 – it creates a SharePoint online site, an Exchange Online group mailbox and provides a shared OneNote notebook for each team created. From a single place, users can connect with a variety of key Office 365 apps and tools to help them work and collaborate more efficiently, such as:
• Calendars and meetings (Outlook)
• Create, share, edit and search content and information (SharePoint, OneDrive and OneNote)
• Call and meet team members (Skype for Business)
• Instant messaging and chat (Skype for Business)
