Microsoft Teams is the primary collaboration and productivity tool in Microsoft 365.  It provides an easy-to-use interface that utilizes the OneDrive and SharePoint technologies together.  With Teams, users can chat with individuals or groups, hold video meetings, make audio/video calls, store files and share them internally or externally, and integrate with other M365 applications. Please refer to JMU's University Data Storage Standard regarding highly confidential data in Teams. 

Students and employees have access to Teams and are able to create and manage their own team(s). When a team is created, a SharePoint site is automatically created on the back-end as the file storage location for that team.
