Group collaboration in Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is a chat-based collaboration space that allows a group of people to communicate and organize information. It creates a central location where you can:

  • stay in the know with real-time information and updates in ongoing team conversations, private chats (these can be moderated, if needed), team meetings, and other channels.

  • collaborate in group chats, online meetings, audio calls, and web conferencing.

  • co-author files and share resources with built-in Office 365 apps.

  • create projects and assignments, provide guidance, and share feedback. 

For further information, including tutorials, see the IT Knowledge Base Microsoft Teams how-to page.


While this resource is accessible worldwide, McGill University is on land which has served and continues to serve as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. Teaching and Learning Services acknowledges and thanks the diverse Indigenous peoples whose footsteps mark this territory on which peoples of the world now gather. This land acknowledgment is shared as a starting point to provide context for further learning and action.
