Use Outlook and Teams Together

When you communicate with your employees, partners, clients, and others in your small business, use Outlook and Teams in Microsoft 365. In Outlook, you’ll find email, calendars, contacts, and tasks, while in Teams you’ll find conversations, files, meetings, and quick access to Microsoft and third-party apps. Here’s a summary of how you might use each in your business.
