Workspaces in Teams channels help you bring your collaborative documents closer to the conversation and enable you to:
-
Brainstorm, co-create, collect, and organize content—together in real-time.
-
Ensure everyone in the Teams channel gets access to the Loop workspace, even as Teams channel membership changes.
-
Make sure that the workspace adheres to the governance, lifecycle, and compliance standards set by the Microsoft 365 Group backing the team.
This feature is currently available in Teams standard channels only.
