you'll learn about the app's main interface,

00:00:07

understand how it's organized,

00:00:08

and learn how to easily navigate it.

00:00:11

This is the essential starting point before exploring all the features of Teams.

00:00:16

Microsoft Teams is a communication and

00:00:18

collaboration platform developed by Microsoft.

00:00:22

It brings together your conversations,

00:00:25

meetings,

00:00:26

files,

00:00:26

and work teams in one place.

00:00:29

The objective is simple

00:00:31

avoid juggling between several applications

00:00:35

and centralize your daily work.

00:00:37

When you open teams,

00:00:39

you'll land on the main interface.

00:00:41

Let's take the time to explore it together.

00:00:44

On the left side of the screen

00:00:46

you will find the vertical navigation bar.

00:00:49

It contains several icons that give you access to the great features of the app.

00:00:54

Among the main icons you will find the activity represented by a bell.

00:00:59

This is your notification center.

00:01:02

You will find all the recent alerts,

00:01:04

mentions,

00:01:05

replies to your messages,

00:01:07

reactions to your publications.

00:01:09

It's the perfect place to make sure you don't miss anything.

00:01:13

You will then be taken to the conversation section.

00:01:16

This is the heart of the application.

00:01:19

Group chats,

00:01:20

teams,

00:01:20

and channels can be found under these two menus.

00:01:24

We'll explore this in detail in future tutorials.

00:01:27

The following icon opens your calendar directly synced with Outlook.

00:01:32

Here you can find all your scheduled meetings

00:01:35

and create new ones without leaving teams.

00:01:38

Next is the call icon

00:01:40

which allows you to make audio or video calls directly from the app,

00:01:45

then OneDrive

00:01:46

to access your documents stored in Teams,

00:01:49

OneDrive or SharePoint.

00:01:51

You can also find co-pilot in the sidebar

00:01:54

if this feature is available in your environment.

00:01:57

It allows access to Microsoft's assistant directly

00:02:00

from Teams without leaving the app.

00:02:03

Finally,

00:02:03

the app icon,

00:02:05

often represented by a plus sign,

00:02:07

allows you to add tools directly in Teams,

00:02:11

task schedulers,

00:02:13

polls,

00:02:14

dashboards,

00:02:15

and many more.

00:02:16

The button with the three dots allows

00:02:19

you to display other installed or available applications

00:02:23

even if they are not permanently displayed in the sidebar.

00:02:26

At the top of the app you'll notice the central search bar.

00:02:30

It's always accessible

00:02:32

no matter what section you're in.

00:02:35

You can quickly activate it with the control plus E keyboard shortcut.

00:02:39

It allows you to search for people.

00:02:42

Messages,

00:02:43

files,

00:02:44

channels,

00:02:45

group chats,

00:02:47

meetings,

00:02:47

and more

00:02:48

to the right of the search bar you'll find the space

00:02:51

linked to your account with your organization or account name,

00:02:55

profile picture,

00:02:57

and window management icons.

00:02:59

Clicking on the 3 ellipses in the top bar gives you access to the app's settings,

00:03:04

keyboard shortcuts,

00:03:05

and help,

00:03:07

among other things.

00:03:08

By clicking on your profile picture,

00:03:11

you can change your status,

00:03:13

set your place of work,

00:03:14

or write a custom status message.

00:03:17

You now have a clear overview of the Microsoft Teams interface.
