Discussion channels ensure organized

00:00:04

and productive team conversations.

00:00:05

By default, a new team will start

00:00:08

with a single channel called General,

00:00:10

but you can add as many as you want.

00:00:13

Most channels are standard

00:00:15

channels when created.

00:00:16

If you need a smaller or specific

00:00:18

audience for a particular topic,

00:00:20

use a private channel or a shared

00:00:23

channel if you wish to collaborate with

00:00:25

people outside the team or organization.

00:00:28

All channels are open to all

00:00:30

members of a team, and all members

00:00:33

can create discussion channels.

00:00:35

To do this, click on the three

00:00:37

dots next to the team's name,

00:00:39

then select Add Channel.

00:00:41

Give the channel a descriptive

00:00:43

name and a brief description to

00:00:45

help you understand the topic

00:00:47

of the discussion channel.

00:00:48

Then click Create.

00:00:51

Your discussion channel is created and it

00:00:53

has its own gallery of tools and services.

00:00:56

These tools are called tabs in teams.

00:00:59

Like channels, all team members

00:01:01

can access and create these tabs.

00:01:03

To add tabs,

00:01:04

click on the plus sign.

00:01:06

In the window that appears you will

00:01:09

find several applications and services

00:01:10

that you can add to your channel.

00:01:13

For example, Office Tools,

00:01:14

Task Planner, a SharePoint site,

00:01:16

a OneNote module and other services

00:01:19

according to the needs of your team.

00:01:22

Let's now see how the creation

00:01:24

of a tab works.

00:01:25

Imagine you want to add a task lanner

00:01:27

to track and manage your team's tasks.

00:01:30

Name your tab and confirm the

00:01:32

creation by clicking save.

00:01:33

There you go.

00:01:34

Your planner is at hand and ready to

00:01:37

be used by all members of your team.
