What you will need for this course

- [Narrator] This course focuses on Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Outlook, and is most useful for people who work or plan to work in organizations that use both of these products together. This is a large and growing number of organizations around the world, so this is your course if you're already using Teams, or perhaps if you're using or recently used Skype for Business, and you're an Outlook user as well. This might be your course if you're looking for a collaboration upskill to a very popular and highly regarded set of business communication tools, and it might be your course if you are simply curious about how communication and collaboration are changing in organizational life. To work along with me, you will need Outlook. I will be using the new Outlook for the desktop in Windows, but you could also use classic Outlook for the Windows desktop, or you could use Outlook on the web, but there will be small differences between what I demonstrate and what you see in Outlook from time to time if you are using something other than new Outlook. You will also need new Microsoft Teams work or school, and the icon for the new Teams has a little new in it. And this is also discriminating between Teams for home, which is not what this course is about. In Microsoft Teams, you'll want to be a member of one or more teams to get the most out of this course. It also helps if your team has a few other members. Now, if your organization doesn't use Teams and Outlook right now, or if you're between organizations, you can enroll in a free trial of Microsoft 365 for Business, and that will include Outlook and Teams, and it will include 25 clients for those. So you could invite some friends along who would also like to learn how to use Outlook and Teams together at no additional cost to you. You just need to assign them one of the emails. This is not a complete course on either Teams or Outlook, far from it. This is a course on the intersection of these two products. If you'd like to know more about using Outlook or Teams, here are some resources. Outlook Essential Training is the Soup to Nuts course on Microsoft Outlook. If you're using Outlook on the web, a similar course for Outlook on the web is Outlook on the Web Essential Training. If you'd like to know more about Teams before we continue, or after you take this course, take a look at Microsoft Teams Essential Training. Each of these courses is designed to give you a great foundation in the use of the product as a whole, and if you feel like you're pretty okay in Teams and Outlook, but maybe haven't used one of them in a while, then for a brush up, I'd recommend Outlook Tips and Tricks and/or Microsoft Teams Tips and Tricks. You will find all of these courses and more courses on Outlook and Teams in the LinkedIn Learning Library.
