This is helpful, especially 4 and 5. Trying to get passed the Teams vs Outlook confusion is tricky. Using teams for meetings and collaboration, but Outlook is still the choice for covering oneself, e.g., like snail mail - you got the letter/email or you said this or agreed to that or whatever was the commitment in the case! Hard to move folks away from that. The one thing Outlook has is a single inbox and that's easier to comprehend/operate than multiple teams, channels, meeting notes, chats.
Nice and clear. Perfect pace. Thank you. I’ll be sharing this with others.
This is very helpful. Thank you. I'm getting ready to launch a project. In which this is going to be an instrumental part of making it successful. And understanding the foundational Dynamics, which you've outlined just in this one video. Is really helpful. Thank you.
could you please suggest the reply button option placed in .... right side on the top of the message we receive individually
Possibly a large chunk of our time at work under O365 is spent on adjusting settings, (notification, privacy and sharing settings mainly), something typically perceived as non-value-adding by old ways of working. (Outlook never needs us to adjust anything, other than meeting series parameters...)
Super presentation, Very well explained. Spoke my mind.
El paso 5 es el más importante, gracias por el video!
I just reviewed it and it's awsome! We plan to implement ms teams in my company, and this video help a lot! Gracias! Thanks!
Thanks for your advices and guide for the succes using this wonderfull program
Thanks for this excellent video. I have also encountered a lot of the issues in my attempt to introduce Teams as a way to communicate in Lean manufacturing projects. Really like the concept of house rules. What I love about Teams is the ability to make interactions engaging and fun. "Going All In" continues to be a challenge for the reasons you mentioned in the video. Any suggestion or examples you could share in how you have overcome this hurdle?
Hello. I can't add members (yahoo email, gmail email) . I do not identify any list of members. how to proceed to add members? thanks
Great Video. Thanks. Simple, But strong tips to succeed
Congratulations very usefull and focused video. Gave me a lot of info to manage digital transformation!
Hi, great video. Thanks for it. May I have question? Why Teams is not ideal for projects or initiatives where you have very infrequent interaction? I dont see problem with that as team members can still share/store documents an other information even if they don´t need to interact very often. thank you for your answer
Miroslav Šraga - Currently switching between Teams tenants is quite time consuming. (If another company invites you as a guest in one of their teams you need to switch Teams tenant). Also, since you don't have a preview of what posts are shared (you just see an "unread" notification on Teams), you might switch tenant only to find out that someone has commented - "good point!". You just wasted 3 min of your time switching between tenants! Had this been an email you would have done it in a sec. Microsoft is working on improving the experience - so this point will most probably not be applicable soon. But for now it still holds!
@@Storyals I most agree with you, bad experience if we work with the guest. this feature should be switch to most important.
Hi, great video. Is there a way to see a sample of that introduction video at location 4:03 for our own users? We’ve made the mistake of introducing Teams company-wide without personally introducing people to it. Instead, we broadcasted everything to everyone in an auditorium :-/.
Hi
Marsorry! Head on over to our website (storyals dot com). There you can book a free trial of Storyals to see how that can help you and your employees in the user awareness and adoption of Office 365 including Microsoft Teams.
This was very well presented and hit on the most important must-do's for a successful migration to Teams! I will be sharing this with my leadership team!

Colin Durbin - Glad you found it useful! We just posted another video blog where I share my experiences of how to communicate effectively using Teams - might be helpful as well! 😊storyals.com/blog/communicate-like-pro-using-microsoft-teams
We moved from Slack to Teams, I like Teams better, and feel it offers many more capabilities. HOWEVER, the biggest complaints our staff have is that there are not clear reminders that there is new content in a channel like there is in Slack. I can see online that this is a major issue for many. Microsoft HAS to fix this,
George Muenz - yes, there is confusion regarding the whole notification constellation. Fixing some issues is one - awareness is the other! Glad you otherwise had a good experience with Teams though.
Omg omg omg! I am soon to roll out teams in a group where I am not a leader but is expected to organize the group. I struggle with people coming to me with one to one whispers and expecting me to convey to others, creating soooo much extra work for me. Also, when instructions or encouragement to share knowledge comes from me they do not bother and rather expect me to deliver it to them. If I manage to encourage them to use teams, the group will be more efficient. This video is the one that can make my efforts into success! Thank you very much!
Qi Ne - Qi Ne - happy to be of help. Also check out the latest video blog we just posted where I share my experiences of how to communicate effectively using Teams. You can find it here: ruclips.net/video/PoLyP8lQ6eA/видео.html Good luck! 💪😊
Wow, we've been failing at ALL of these points... No wonder our integration has been going so slowly :( I think I need to discuss this with the boss ;)

Brandon - How is you Teams adoption going? We just published a new video blog where I share my experiences of how to communicate effectively using Teams. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/PoLyP8lQ6eA/видео.html 🤗
Really well presented and I have encountered most of the issues you mention already during my attempts to roll out Teams more widely. I will be taking a good look at how I introduce Teams to others, moving forward. Thank you very much!

Good video. The tips have great insight.
Thank You for this! I need to be diligent about going all in on Teams.

Sharing work in progress made me think of version control software. commit your changes often...
Hej Jag hade en fråga. Kan jag dela en video på Teams oberoende av att mottagaren har laddad ner programmet ifråga?
Our Headquarter in Germany, launched MS Teams for all subsidiaries worldwide, months ago. Here, in Brazil, no one is using the tool. So, we found in our local group the influencers, and first we trained them. Now, I am following up the use ... let´s see. Maybe this will not be enough.
Good video thank you!
Nice Video, Ver useful and I've shared it to my team Keep posting plz :), you're leading a positive vibe
kajamogli - Thank you! ❤️ New video coming next week. Stay tuned. 😊
Very useful tips. Thank you!
What a video well produced (and very neat), cohesive e coherent with reality . I'll sharing with my team !
Nice information. Thanks !
Great video! Keep up the good work!
Superb. Lovely
Well, grandpa here. The HOA I belong to wants me to check in on Teams since I'm not in northern climes this time of year. It looks ridiculous to use just to listen on a conference call on my Chromebook. I still haven't a clue how to use it and I've spent too much time trying to figure it out. Give me something simple to use.
Done The Hard Way - Dearest grandpa. Please send us a message via our web site storyals(dot)com and we will send you a short but easy to follow video series to help you! ❤️☺️
Done The Hard Way Yep, nothing like using something complex (Teams) when a simple solution (conference call) would do. BTW, I despise Teams (and PowerApps, but that’s not part of this story).
We are on the final stretch of rolling out Office 365 out to the Organisation (>1000 employee’s). It’s definitely not just another Office release! The big game changer is Teams and we see the impact how people work and collaborate already now! Ok, there are still a lot locked in the email trap.
Archibald Tuttle - please feel free to contact us at hello@storyals.com, perhaps you would be interested in a Teams Assessment Adoption Workshop. As a Microsoft partner we can deliver these on behalf of Microsoft for companies with more than 1000 seats.
Distributed teams vs lunch anyone?
Great example
i just love that memes made it into a professional environment :D
Kalokal - to be honest I had no idea how to pronounce "memes" when they were introduced in Teams. Luckily I have team members half my age that could enlighten me! 🤣 (For others out there like me - "memes" rhymes with "themes").
@@ulrikahedlund oops, so i pronounced them wrong all the time ;) a side remark, I wonder how well Teams resonates in environments that dont use the PPT DOC XLS trinity as work environment (Engineering for example ) ?
Very good video ! Thanks for sharing.
nice watched it at x1.75 speed.
i do not agree about step 4 all in, email could still be used for some use case such as reaching formaly an external contractor, send official announcement..
Jeff SansNom - perhaps it wasn't clear in the video. Email is of course still an important means of communication for a lot of scenarios - official correspondence internally and externally, most external communication with partners and customers - but not for internal team/project related conversations where you have started using Teams ☺️
I think, I can trust you. so I will manage my team like your advises.
Problem with teams is you cant subdivide larger group of members into smaller sub-groups
I am a teacher. How do I share my files with my students please.
Look for Microsoft teams for education.
Unless Teams are 100% integrated with Outlook and decent file explorer people won't use it widely. "All-in" doesn't work.
Could you please explain, why "All in" doesn´t work? Thank you...
@@systemdrei6535 Hello. The main communication flows are happening in Outlook. It is really hard to make people using Teams instead of Outlook, all the replies to mails are happening there, not much sense to copy the same in Teams in semi manual mode. Its even hard to persuade people from my team to use the app, all are saying "what a great app!", but practically not using it on constant basis. And the file explorer in Teams is of very limited functionality, not convenient to find and share files from Teams.
@@andreyru9221 Hello Andrey, thank you for answering. I noticed this in organisations since 20 Years. I think the first problem is, that Information and files are in separated "rooms". You can connect them only through an attachment to email. But what happens with this file? It is not in the folder in MS explorer/one note any more. Nobody knows, what is the state of this file. Acting with 100s of files leads to enormous search time. The other problem ist, that there are too many tools (apps), each of them is good in one or two features. But you need 20 of them, this is extremly ineffctive und inefficient. MS Teams seems to be a hub to integrate all these apps, but I think we are most of the time busy with administration and forget about real project work. I can´t see any reduction of complexity. I see only one winner. This is Microsoft. We accept this without thinking about, what is realy important. In my experience most important features are Informations can be connected with files and workflows. Absolutely easy and without embellishment for no use. systemdrei has been built for that. We just put an Messenger in MS Explorer an so there is communication connected wtih filles. A Taskmanager (also in explorer) helps managing even intensive Projects easiliy. No internal email neccessary anymore. But its not in the cloud. Its just for internal server work. But we have a webclient. Sorry, systemdrei is not available in an english version at the moment. We come from Austria :--)
Is Teams a good tool when I communicate with another musician?
There is a new feature in preview to use high-fidelity music mode to play music in Teams. You can learn more about it here: support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-high-fidelity-music-mode-to-play-music-in-teams-c1550582-2f76-4b31-9f72-e98c7167a18e
@@Storyals exciting! is Teams a software or tool that you can buy to communicate among each other?

Asslamualaikum
Basic stuff doesn't even work in Teams. Like copy paste an image into a wiki page. There is no support for copy paste. Can you even believe this? How are you all using Teams in real life without even this basic support? It's impossible?
Tim Van Goethem - I don't use Wikis to be honest. But there are so many other things in Teams that brings enormous value. Focus on the things that are really good - the Office apps integration, the meeting functionality and the in-context conversations. ☺️
Hi
you're cute :)
very superficial talk, it work if you change "Teams" to any other similar software.
Rered Liu - please head to our web site - there you will find more information that you might find more informative related to Teams. 😊
please get a better mic
Her hand gestures are so distracting
Delete MS Team as fast as you can.
Mark Erlandson - I think it would be much more beneficial for everyone if you shared your experiences and told everyone why you would recommend deleting it. Always curious to hear various perspectives. ☺️
@@Storyals Microsoft is driven solely by greed. They are not the company of old. They do not test their software anymore like they used to. They release products with thousands upon thousands of known bugs that they have no intention of fixing. They have laid off all of the Windows test teams without once caring for the customer that purchases their product. Fact !
How to succeed with MS Teams:
1) Switch to Slack
2) Delete Teams
3) Watch productivity soar
4) Make note as frustration decreases
5) Beer (or wine) for everyone!
SafetyKap - For the benefit of all viewers, could you please list the reasons why you believe Slack to be a better option for increased productivity?
Is that right?
...But Slack doesn't even have a video conferencing option.
What makes Slack that much better than Teams, in your opinion?
6) Get left behind as everyone else in the world migrates to Teams. LOL
SafetyKap - I am doing a presentation on the productivity pros and cons of Microsoft Teams in Prague this week. I’d love to hear more about your experience. Can you send me an email? (ulrika at storyals dot com) Thanks! 😊
@@ulrikahedlund Slack is a little friendlier for smaller, independent users, with its better meme and gif support. It’s also an independent application that might work better for a group that’s more platform-agnostic. For that reason, it’s the choice that will fit the majority of people looking for a chat application.

Chris Vester That is harsh! 😣 Tell me, why don't you like Teams? Perhaps you haven't been given a good introduction? ☺️
