Did you know that Teams and Zoom share many of the same features?  Whiteboards, chat, voice calling, customized backgrounds, breakout rooms, meeting recordings and transcriptions–these are just some of the things that Teams can do (and some of them better than Zoom).  You should give it a closer look with us.   

  • How to run your meeting in Teams like a pro

  • Managing your People:  how to control a rowdy room

  • Live transcription and recording so nothing is missed in the meeting

  • Sharing your PowerPoint in a powerful presentation mode

  • Newly, improved whiteboard to share ideas openly (that everyone can access later)
