Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is a chat-based collaboration tool that is part of the Office 365 suite of services. MS Teams enables remote, global and dispersed teams to work together and collaborate through a common workspace, team chat, one-on-one chat, document collaboration.
A Team is a collection of people, content, and/or tools. On the top right of the screen above you will see the option to Join or create a Team. After you name it and give a description, it will offer you a chance to add Team Members. You can add people within your organization who have Microsoft Exchange Outlook accounts. Or you can add guests by just using their email address. This is how you could add Clemson students (username@g.clemson.edu) or external collaborators.
