Manage the experience with robust settings and policies
- Tailor the Teams experience for your users
- Teams policies allow you to control what users can do in teams and channels. Some of your users may be used to having ongoing focused conversation only with specific people around sensitive topics. Private channels are a great way to replicate this in a virtual environment and you can define who in the organization can create these with Teams policies.
- Messaging policies allow you to control which chat and channel messaging features are available to your users. Some of your employees may be collaborating with people from other parts of the world who speak different languages. You can allow users to translate messages using this type of policy. Additionally, you can enable immersive reader to help your users read messages and posts the way they read best.
- Meetings policies allow you to control which features are available to meeting participants, including settings to control which meeting participants wait in the lobby before they are admitted to the meeting and the level of participation they are allowed in a meeting. Organizers can also leverage meeting options to further customize meetings to their needs. Here are 9 tips for having the best online meeting experience with Microsoft Teams.
- Live event settings allow you to plan and set up live events in Microsoft Teams to host “broadcast-style” video presentations for large events with more than 250 participants.
- Calling policies allow you to control which calling and call forwarding features your employees can use. For example, you can enable the sharing of a phone line with a delegate for some of your staff that supports leaders and senior executives.
- Monitor usage and quality of the service: you can track the usage of Teams to ensure employees are taking full advantage of the capabilities while working remotely using the Microsoft Teams analytics and reporting experience. Additionally, you can help your users have the best experience possible during calls and meetings by monitoring call quality in Teams.
