Microsoft Teams Demo Steps

Introduction

This section provides an overview of the primary messaging pillars for Microsoft Teams. You may start with some of these pillars to

introduce the demo, or incorporate them as talking points into the demo at appropriate places.

A changing modern workplace

The way in which organizations work has evolved. Both work styles and the workforce are becoming more and more diverse. As

business becomes increasingly global and cross-functional, silos are breaking down, connectivity is increasing, and teamwork is

becoming a key to organizational success. Employees are on twice as many teams as 5 years ago. The amount of time that employees

spend in “collaborative” work – in meetings, on phone calls or answering emails – has increased by about 50%. Even more

significantly, this kind of work now takes up 80% or more of employees’ time. In addition, teams are increasingly a mix of employees

and outside vendors. Teams have remote members, either working from home, on the road, or in different geographical regions We

built Microsoft Teams in response to these communication and collaboration trends in the modern workplace.

Introducing Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is a hub for teamwork, a chat-based workspace that enables teams to be more productive by giving them a single

and secure location that brings together everything a team needs: chats, meetings, calls, files, and tools. Microsoft Teams is one place

for all the needs your teams have.

Microsoft Teams delivers on four core promises to create a digital workspace for high performing teams.

1-Communicate through chat, meetings and calls

Microsoft Teams solves for the communication needs of a diverse workforce.

Since preview, Microsoft Teams has evolved to include a complete meetings experience, as well as chat, voice and video -

You can use Teams for informal 1:1 or group chats – directly on your phone if you’re on the go. Or you can have an open

conversation in a channel. This enables people to share information in a transparent way to accelerate decision making. And it's super

easy to move from a chat into a face to face meeting, helping you to bridge geographical barriers.

2-Collaborate with deeply integrated Office 365 apps

When it comes to collaboration, the deep Office integration enables today’s multigenerational workforce to use the Office apps they

are familiar with and love - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, SharePoint, Planner, even Power BI - right within the context of Teams.

Teams is unique in how we enable collaboration.

Today, when you want somebody’s feedback, you send them the file via email, they store it locally with comments, you store it

again…… it's a vicious cycle that results in v2, v3, v4 versions – and you have to jump between email and other apps to get the work

done. Teams brings all the Office 365 services together – so that you can easily share and co-author files without the need for email

attachments.

3-Customize and extend with 3rd party apps, processes and devices

Many users use other services than Office 365 as well which results in you having to jump between and spend time in disparate

experiences. We built Teams to not only be the hub for Office 365 services, but for all the services and tools teams use on a day to

day basis. So, you can customize Teams with tabs, connector and bots to include the apps and services you need, like Trello. We have

integrations with over 150 partners. For our developer community, we have also created an extensible platform, to enable building

apps and to integrate with business processes.

4-Work with confidence with enterprise level security, compliance and manageability

Microsoft Teams comes with the enterprise grade security, compliance and manageability that you expect from Office 365 which

customers tell us is a huge value add for them.Microsoft Teams was designed with compliance, authentication, and privacy in mind

with support for industry standards, strong security measures including two-factor authentication, hard passwords, and access

policies. Microsoft Teams also offers secure guest access for collaboration with others outside your organization. Teams data is always

encrypted, whether it is chat, notes, or files. In short, it’s your data; you own it, and you control it.

High-level Overview

Note to presenter:

You should be able to complete the entire demo in the Microsoft Teams desktop client and on the Microsoft Teams App for

your mobile device. Optionally, depending on your presentation needs(multi-user functionality), you can do this section in the Web

client.

OVERVIEW

Speaker Script

Click Steps

GETTING STARTED

Marketing Manager Megan Bowen recently joined a major

product launch initiative. To organize everyone working on the

launch, she and her colleagues are using Microsoft Teams to

have a single and secure location that brings together

everything their team needs: chats, meetings, calls, files,

and tools.

When Megan comes to the office in the morning, she starts her

day in the “Teams” section of Microsoft Teams. Here, she can

see all the various teams that she is part of.

A team can exist within an organization, a project or even an

interest group. For the product launch, she has created a team

called X1050 Launch Team.

Log into Teams desktop client

In the left navigation, click on the “Teams” icon.

Point to the X1050 Launch Team.

Speaker Script

Click Steps

Within that team, she has also created several channels.

Channels are dedicated sections within a team to keep

conversations organized by specific topics or projects. Megan

has created channels for her team to communicate and

collaborate on Design, Digital Assets and the Go-To Market

plan.

The app bar on the left gives Megan access to all main areas in

Teams. From here, she can access her activity feed, chat and the

store. Megan can also use the command box at the top to query

apps or search Teams.

Point to the channels Design, Digital Assets and Go To

Market Plan.

Command apps, and take quick actions, and search – —all

from the command box

Megan has several options how to navigate Teams. She can use

the left navigation or she can use the command bar. at the top

of the screen which integrates commanding with search.

In addition to searching across people, messages, files, and

apps, from here, she can command apps to search for

information in an app, such as a news article, and easily insert a

specific result into a chat or channel conversation.

She can also take quick actions right from the box with slash

commands.

Slash commands are shortcuts that allow her to quickly perform

tasks or navigate Teams; such as setting her status, adding a

user to a team, or calling somebody. To get started with slash

commands, she simply types “/” to see a list of currently

available commands.

Here she uses a slash command to jump to the Design channel.

Adding somebody to a team

In the very top of the Teams window, click in the command

box.

Type launch, and hit enter.

In the left results menu, at the top, click through messages

and files to see all of the content associated with the word

“launch”.

Click back into the top search bar and type / then pause.

Finish typing goto, then type a space, and select the Design

channel.

Speaker Script

Click Steps

When somebody new joins the team, Megan can easily add

them. A team can have up to 2,500 members across the

organization, and even include external members though

secure guest access. Here, she adds a trusted vendor to her

team.

When Megan adds a new person, they automatically get access

to all conversations, information and files that have been shared

in the team making it easy for them to ramp up to the project.

And making it easy for Megan as she does not have to think

about which files, emails or other information she needs to

forward.

In the left navigation, click the ellipsis next to the X1050

Launch Team.

In the dropdown menu that appears, click Manage team.

Click Add member.

NOTE: Do not add him as a guest user, you will receive an

error message.

In the name field, enter “bobk@tailspin.com”.

Pause on Add BobK@tailspin as a guest.

Click Close.

COMMUNICATE THROUGH CHAT

Speaker Script

Click Steps

In Teams, Megan can choose how to communicate. She can

engage in private 1:1: chats, in group chats or in channel

conversations that are visible to the entire team.

CHANNEL CONVERSATIONS

Microsoft Teams enables people to communicate without effort

through chat. Megan has some updates around design that she

wants to share with the team. She will use the Design channel

for that.

Persistent and open chat

In the left navigation, click Teams.

Under the X1050 Launch Team, Click the Design channel.

Speaker Script

Click Steps

Chats are persistent and stored in their entirety, so Megan can

quickly catch up while away or revisit decisions made in an

earlier conversation. This adds a lot of value for new people

coming into the team, or for current team members looking to

re-visit the context of the conversation.

By default, team conversations are visible to the entire team

making it easy for everybody to stay in the know and to share

information in a transparent way to accelerate decision making.

The @sign shows that Megan is specifically mentioned, so she

can easily find conversations she needs to respond to. The red

bang shows high importance, so she can get straight into items

or topics that are most important.

Threaded Messages

When you have many members in a team or when you have

chats about multiple topics, it can become hard to follow a

conversation. To help with that, Microsoft Teams conversations

are threaded so that Megan can reply directly in-context to

specific conversations keeping relevant chats grouped together.

Further up in the Design channel, Megan sees a conversation

addressing the team. She clicks to expand all previous replies,

allowing her to view the entire thread.

Scroll up to view conversations and find the red notification

indicators.

Point to the @ mention ( ) next to Pradeep’s conversation.

Point to the Important ( ) next to Megan’s conversation.

Scroll to the Excellent Meeting everyone conversation

started by Megan.

Speaker Script

Click Steps

Rich Formatting

Within the channel, Megan can participate in existing

conversations, or compose a new message.

Today, as she wants to share an update on design work, she

starts a new conversation.

Megan can either send a simple quick chat with just text or

expand the compose box to leverage rich formatting tools. As it

is an important update, she adds a subject line “January

milestone reached” to her message and highlights it as

important.

She would like to specifically thank Alex for his input, so she

adds an @mention. This way, Alex will receive a notification and

the conversation will show up in his activity feed.

Click the compose box at the bottom to start a new

message.

Click the Compose icon ( ) to access the rich formatting

menu.

Click Add a subject and type January milestone reached.

Click in the body of the message and type @Alex then select

the Alex Wilber.

Emojis, Stickers and Giphys

The culture of the team is very casual, so she decides to add a

sticker. Features like this allow teams to have fun together.

Successful collaboration is based on relationships, Teams

provides built in emojis and integration into Giphy. Teams also

supports creating or uploading memes and other stickers.

Megan decides to add an Office Drama sticker, as it usually gets

a great reaction from her team. She creates a custom sticker by

adding a caption “You guys rock!” [if possible, use a string that is

unique to you or your customer].

This makes it easy for Megan to show her personality and

humanize or soften her messages. Changing the communication

style has changed the style of Megan’s team. They can focus

more on the substance, and less about formalities.

At the bottom of the text field, click to open the Emoji

menu.

Click to show Giphy integration.

Click to show available stickers.

a. Click the Meme tab to show integrated memes.

b. Click Office Drama.

i. Click the High Five sticker.

ii. Type the caption, You guys rock!.

iii. Click Done.

At the bottom right, click the send icon to post the message.

Speaker Script

Click Steps

Emailing a channel

Channel conversations also support the ability to email a

channel directly. Emailing a channel is useful for forwarding an

important email that you want to share with the team or to

move a conversation from email to Teams. To get a channel’s

email, just click the ellipsis next to the channel name to access

the email address.

In the top navigation, click the ellipsis beside the

channel name.

a. Click Get email address.

b. Point out you can Copy the channel email address.

Click Close.

PRIVATE 1:1 OR GROUP CHATS

For conversations that don’t require the entire team Megan can

use a private, one-on-one chat or a group chat.

In the chats section of Microsoft Teams, Megan will only see

private conversations that she has created or to which she has

been added to.

She has some 1:1 chats with her team members. For example,

Isaiah wants to run a new idea by Megan, so he started a 1: 1

chat to see if she is available and whether she is currently

online.

She also has a group conversation with various team members

– Alex, Johanna, and Lee. Megan can easily add more people to

this conversation. She adds Nestor to her group chat because

he will probably have something to contribute to the

conversation.

In the left navigation, click on Chat.

In the left navigation, click the chat from Isaiah Langer.

In the chats list, click into the group chat with Alex,

Johanna, and Lee.

On the top right, click the add icon .

Type Nestor, then select Nestor Wilke from the options.

Click Add.

Mobile Experience

Speaker Script

Click Steps

In Teams, users have a frictionless experience no matter which

device they work from. Teams is available across mobile,

desktop and browser.

Microsoft Teams on the go

When team members are out of the office or away from their

desks, they can keep up with the team’s activity in Microsoft

Teams through the iOS, Android, and Windows Phone mobile

apps.

Isaiah is traveling on business and uses his phone to check in on

In the left navigation, click Chat.

Click on Isaiah Langer.

Speaker Script

Click Steps

MEETINGS

Sometimes it’s most efficient to jump on a quick call to resolve

an issue or answer a question.

Teams offers a complete meeting solution supporting sharing,

video and audio conferencing. Meeting and calling capabilities

are all built into Teams, so Megan can easily start a meeting

directly from a chat conversation without having to sign in and

out of multiple applications.

Spontaneous Meetings

To start a meeting, Megan can click Audio Call or Video Call to

Schedule a meeting

For more formal meetings, Megan can schedule a meeting in

the “Meetings” section. In an experience similar to Outlook,

Megan can enter information for the meeting such as title and

details. She can also select the channel for hosting the meeting,

At the bottom of the screen, click in the Start a new

conversation field.

Click the paperclip icon , to attach a document.

Speaker Script

Click Steps

Share files

In a conversation, Megan can upload a file such as a PowerPoint

document. Every time someone creates a team, a corresponding

SharePoint team site is provisioned as well. When Megan shares

a document, it automatically gets uploaded to that SharePoint

site and all members of a team can easily access it through the

Files tab. The Files tab is included by default for every channel

and provides an easy way for team members to share and store

content. By default, all members of a team can edit and view

any file that has been shared within a team.

No longer is information like this locked away in Megan’s e-mail

inbox but her team can communicate and collaborate in one

single place changing how her team works and making them

more productive.

Megan can also share files from third party storage services like

Dropbox or Google drive.

Edit and co-author files

Here, she reviews a file that Johanna has shared with her.

Megan can co-author and edit the file right in the app. As all

files are stored on SharePoint, the latest version of the file is

always accessible to any member on the team – without the

need for email attachments.

Before, Johanna would have shared this file via email, then

somebody would add their comments, re-share it etc. Now, she

can simply click on the file to access the latest version.

She can also review comments from other team members

making it easy for her to understand the full context of the file

and to continue the conversation right in place.

Click OneDrive, then the Contoso Electronics folder.

Click the Excel file, Contoso Monthly Report.

Click Upload a copy.

Click the send icon, in the bottom right corner.

CUSTOMIZE AND EXTEND

Speaker Script

Click Steps

As every team is unique, Megan can tailor her team and

customize it with tabs, connector and bots to include the apps

and services which are relevant to the launch project – Teams

has integrations with over 150 partners.

TABS

Tabs are one of the ways how to customize a team and can be

added for files, notes, websites, and apps – both from Microsoft

Third party Apps and websites

In addition to pinning Office services, Megan can also pin

websites or third-party Apps like Trello for task management,

Hootsuite for social media, or even the Adobe Creative Cloud to

bring designers and creatives together. Here, Megan uses Trello

to manage activities within her team.

Megan can also add a connector for Trello. When you assign a

task to somebody in Trello, then the connector sends a

notification to a channel about that.

Connectors

Microsoft Teams is integrated with a wide selection of project

management apps, social feeds, and data visualization tools via

Connectors (examples: Twitter, RSS, Asana).

Megan can use Connectors to quickly add these apps to

Microsoft Teams and get updates and notifications from them.

For example, the X1050 Launch Team has a dedicated media

channel for external news and social media feeds.

This channel includes a Bing News connector to show relevant

news items discovered by Bing Search.

Include information from an app in a conversation

Megan can also bring information from apps into a chat or

channel message with a simple click. Here, she wants to share

the latest news for AI in a message to her team. In the past, she

had to go to the News tab, copy the link or a screenshot of the

article, and then share it as part of the message. Now, she can

click on the 3 dots or use the command box, choose the

respective app and then include information from the app in her

message without having to switch context.

she has been assigned to across apps like tasks in Planner, bugs

in Jira Cloud.

For example, in the personal OneNote experience, you can view

recently accessed notebooks, notebooks you have added and

notebooks you can access across your teams. The personal

Planner experience shows you a view of your personal tasks

across teams and allows you to keep track of tasks you have been

assigned.

Bots

Megan can also add intelligent bots to interact with Microsoft

Accessibility

Speaker Script

Click Steps

In recent Office updates and now Teams, Microsoft has

provided significant accessibility enhancements that make it

easy for users with limited dexterity, low vision, or other

disabilities to work effectively.

High contrast mode, enabled through a keyboard shortcut,

allows the reader to better distinguish elements and text, aiding

those with visual impairments, such as cataracts.

In Teams, high contrast mode draws attention to individual

messages, images, and attachments. Messages and message

threads are distinct elements making a reply to a thread easy to

complete.

Team members can also use keyboard shortcuts, the screen

magnifier tool, or a screen reader like Narrator. Built into

Windows 10, Narrator reads text on the PC screen aloud and

describes events, such as notifications, messages, or calendar

appointments, so Megan can use her PC without a display. With

a screen reader, users can find and read threaded conversations
