Summary

In this chapter, you learned about the basic concepts and operations within Microsoft Teams. Now, you are ready to start building your own teams. We can compare Microsoft Teams components to Russian dolls, with the team, channel, and tab structure being the nested components inside of a team structure.

The three base concepts of Microsoft Teams are organized hierarchically and have dependencies between them. A tab can only exist inside of a channel and a channel can only exist inside of a team. This structure gives you the flexibility you need to build your teams by following the internal organization of companies or schools.

In the next chapter, you will learn how to use the main features of Microsoft Teams to communicate with other members of Teams.
