  • Microsoft Teams is great! But think before creating another one... a private channel in an existing Team might be better. The link below explains all the details but only the people you add to the private channel can see it. You get all the functionality of a Team, without needing to create a whole new one. As well as being able to share comments and documents privately. This could be useful if you need certain groups of learners to work on projects within Teams but need to ensure they are working separately.

    Don’t forget that chat is also another option. If you want to discuss things/share files with one person or a small group of people, then you can set up a ‘chat’. You can give that chat a name to make it stand out, you can also pin important chats to the top of your screen on desktop/laptops. You can still call / video in the chats, so has many similar functionalities as a Team.

    So you may not need another Team or you may be able to minimise some that you do have!
