Microsoft Teams

A team is made up of channels. Channels are where work actually gets done, and can be a specific topic, department, or project.

  • Every team has a General channel which cannot be removed.

  • Text, audio, and video chats are open to the whole team.

  • Files can be shared, and apps are added.

  • A team can have up to 199 channels plus General, and up to 30 private channels. For more info, see Limits and specifications for Microsoft Teams.

Tip: Learn more about channels by taking the Microsoft Learn course, Collaborate in teams and channels with Microsoft Teams.
