You’ve made the transition to Microsoft Teams, but if all you are using it for is chats and meetings, then you’re only using a small portion of the features. Teams is incredibly powerful for team building – way better than Skype for Business.
Here are 5 great things you can launch today in minutes.
1. Company training space
Give your partners easy access to training sessions and important documentation, right in Microsoft Teams. Here at BindTuning, all of our Partner Program news is now in Microsoft Teams, driving our partners to one shared, collaboration space.
We simply post an announcement in the conversations tab and when a partner clicks on Training Sessions, they’ll see every training recording displayed in tiles, along with the date. If you want to do the same, then the “Collaboration Starter Kit” can help you get started with a pre-configured training tab, ready for customization to your needs.
It is simple to set up and provides:
- Customizable layout
- Ability to filter training offerings by any number of metadata-based filters
- Link to video recordings, YouTube or blog content, really anything
- Fresh content available and accessible to users on-demand
2. Corporate image gallery
No more pixelated images, when your corporate logos are accessible in Microsoft Teams. Create an easily accessible image gallery, where users can quickly access your company branded images, in the size and specifications they need. Building a similar gallery in Teams is effortless with the “Collaboration Starter Kit”.
Cool features of the image gallery include:
- Display thumbnail images of logos, photos, and more
- Built-in AI search capabilities, providing contextual in-image search
- Filtering capabilities
- Access to all image metadata, including photo location
3. Cafeteria daily menus
A dynamic accordion list can be used to display the company’s weekly cafeteria menu. The Accordion app is also incredibly useful for any kind of FAQ’s, like new product announcements, information about mergers/acquisitions, or to address students questions and concerns in an educational scenario. The “Collaboration Starter Kit” includes a cafeteria menu tab, ready for you to customize to your needs.
You can use the accordion app to:
- Consolidate and organize large volumes of information
- Find the right information effortlessly, using the embedded search bar
- Create visually-rich repositories, by using HTML and images
4. Corporate team space
Give your corporate team access to everything they need in Teams. Team members require daily access to information like:
- Team user directory, with the ability to send an email, start a phone call or chat
- Urgent alerts and notifications
- Company and world news
- Corporate calendar
- Events photo galleries
- Easy access to productivity apps
- Live stock market conditions
5. Corporate news space
Still sending a monthly email newsletter? Put an end to long emails with a short shelf-life. Instead, put your company news where your audience spends the bulk of their time – in Microsoft Teams. Consolidate industry and corporate news for your team. With numerous alternative layouts available, the News app is easy to scan and even easier to access. Again, it is all configured and ready-to-go in the Collaboration Starter Kit.
