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
10
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.
11
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.
12
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.
13
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.
14
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.
15
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.
16
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.

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.

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.

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.

by clicking on ”…”” in the left navigation menu. Here, she can
easily access the apps she cares about and see all the items that
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.

Megan can also add intelligent bots to interact with Microsoft
Teams. Bots can answer natural-language questions and
perform lightweight tasks such as FAQs.

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
