built on the next generation cloud based infrastructure
• These technology investments include Azure-based cloud services
for media processing and signaling, H.264 video codec, SILK and
Opus audio codec, network resiliency, telemetry and quality
diagnostics.
17. Memberships and Roles
Team owners are able to invite anyone in the organization they work
Two roles in Team:
• Owner: person who creates the team or assigned the role.
Responsible for managing team-wide settings and membership,
including invitations
• Team member: the people that have been invited to join the team
18. Team Management
• Managing teams should be handled through the Microsoft Teams client
• Any user that has the permissions to create an Office 365 Group, and is
enabled for Microsoft Teams, will be able to create a new team and will
be assigned owner permissions for that team
• By default, all users with a mailbox in Exchange Online have the ability to
create Office 365 Groups
19. Service Administration
• Admins have multiple settings that can be
enabled or disabled at the tenant level.
• With Microsoft Teams enabled for the
tenant, any user that is also enabled for
Microsoft Teams will inherit the settings
from the tenant level.
20. Teams and Channels Administration

33. Microsoft Teams Network Traffic
• Microsoft Teams combines three forms of traffic:
• Data between the Office 365 online environment and external data sources with the Microsoft Teams client
(signalling, presence, chat, file upload and download, and tabs, connectors, and bots connections)
• Peer to peer real time communications traffic (audio, video, desktop sharing)
• Conferencing real time communications traffic (audio, video, desktop sharing)
• To ensure optimal flow, traffic must be allowed to flow both between network sites and Office
365, as well as between the internal network segments (e.g. between sites over the WAN)
• If your organization restricts computers on your network from connecting to the Internet,
ensure to whitelist the Office 365 URLs and IP address ranges

Microsoft Teams -the New Social Workspace!!
See how MS Teams can replace Slack, Yammer, Newsfeed and a heck lot of other Workspace Apps. I integrate SharePoint, PowerBI, and add Apps to totally support you'r business needs. An effective boost for every organization with an Office365 tenant. This is the future, be there or be square :)
Objective: Show how the volume and type of collaboration we do has change - > and this has implications on the features we need built into our tools.
Over the past few years, there’s been a dramatic increase in the amount of collaboration.
Employees are on 2x as many teams as 5 years ago
The amount of time employees spend engaged in “collaborative” work – in meetings, on phone calls or answering emails – has increased by about 50%. Perhaps even more significantly, this kind of work now takes up 80% or more of employees’ time.
In addition to an increase in the amount of collaboration, there are other characteristics that are different about how we’re working together today.
People on teams are a mix of employees and outside vendors. For example, already in the US, 40% of the workforce is contingent worker.
Teams have remote members, either remote from home, or because on the road or because located in different geography.
For the first time, 4 generations are working alongside each other and have different expectations about the tools they use to communicate and collaborate.
Main point to land: This increase in the volume of collaboration and the diversity in scenarios has driven an appetite for specialized tools to address new scenarios.
Slide Objective: Introduce Microsoft Teams as part of the Office 365 collaboration portfolio
Talking points:
Microsoft Teams fits in the Office 365 collaboration portfolio by giving teams easy access to the information they need in a dedicated hub for teamwork. Here, people find their team chat, content, people and tools living together in Office 365.
There are four key attributes of Microsoft Teams that help close-knit teams to perform at their best:
First, it’s modern day chat that keeps everyone in the know with chat history, whether across the team or in a private chat.
It is a dedicated hub for teamwork where people have easy access to the everyday apps such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, websites, and OneNote, which teams rely on daily for getting work done.
Microsoft Teams is customizable for the way different teams work, including publicly available APIs and bot frameworks
Lastly, Microsoft Teams is designed to provide a great collaboration experience while upholding our commitments to safeguard customer and user data, to protect their right to make decisions about that data, and to be transparent about what happens to that data.
Objective: Land first what Microsoft Teams is: chat based collaboration for teams
Talking points:
Microsoft Teams allows team to communicate in real time and keep everyone in the know at the same time. All team members can see and contribute to the team chat, seeing chat history at any time to recall past discussions and decisions.
You have the flexibility to create private chats for small group conversations with one or many people for when a conversation needs to be taken offline. You stay on top of all of the activity with notifications which alert you to when you’ve been @mentioned or when someone’s replied to a conversation you’re a part of.
You can also receive Skype for Business chat messages on Microsoft Teams so that you have one place for your team communications.
And of course, you can use Microsoft Teams across all your devices as we support Microsoft Teams on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Windows Phone and on web
Objective: Expand Microsoft Teams value: differentiated with power of Office 365 integration
Talking points:
Not only is Microsoft Teams the place for your team chat communications, it’s also a hub for your team’s collaboration. You find in a single place the chat conversations with your team, files, team members, and everyday tools.
When you need to talk face to face, you can start a video call from a team chat or private chat. Turn off video if you just want an audio call. You can also join scheduled meetings from Microsoft Teams to meet within a channel or privately outside of one.
Because Microsoft Teams is integrated with Office 365, teams have quick access to the information they need whether they are files shared through SharePoint, notes in OneNote or tasks in Planner. Excel, PowerPoint, Word, PDFs and other documents can be shared and opened right in the app.
If you can’t immediately find what you need you can search in Microsoft Teams for people, files, chats and links. You can move easily between multiple Microsoft Teams so it’s easy to see what’s going on across teams, across channels, across chats. It’s also easy to set up and manage, whether you’re IT or an end user. Because it’s part of Office 365, all of your team members are instantly there
Objective: Show Microsoft Teams is also flexible to meet the individual needs of different organizations
Talking points:
Microsoft Teams gives you the flexibility to create a workspace that fits your teams’ needs.
Create different channels for the team based on work streams or topics.
Add new tabs to a channel for quick access to frequently used documents and cloud services like PowerPoint and Planner. Teams also includes integrations from partners like Zendesk, Asana, and Hootsuite. Tabs are used to surface content in its native format, allowing for rich collaboration in the right context.
Explore data and take quick actions with bots like T-bot. or 3rd party bots like Polly, Meekan and many others.
With more than 70 Office 365 Connectors from services like Twitter, Dynamics CRM Online, VSTS or GitHub, available now, you can send rich notifications right into a channel. These are great for notifying a team about required actions, completed transactions, breaking news, and other real-time updates.
You can stay on top of all of the activity with notifications which alert you to when you’ve been @mentioned or when someone’s replied to a conversation you’re a part of.
Objective: Differentiate Microsoft Teams through Office 365 platform of security, privacy, transparency and global reach
Talking points:
Office 365 has strong commitments around security, compliance, privacy and transparency. Microsoft Teams was built using these same principles to deliver an enterprise grade platform.
From the start, Microsoft Teams was architected with compliance, authentication and privacy in mind. Microsoft Teams will have compliance built-in, with support for industry standards including grade b accessibility, ISO 27001 and 27018, SOC 1 and SOC 2, HIPAA, EU Model Clauses and more. We’ve recently added information features that you’ve come to expect from Office 365 apps and services– Archive, eDiscovery, Legal Hold, Compliance Content Search, Auditing and Reporting. These features help you control sensitive information if your business has specific security requirements for content security and data use.
Microsoft Teams protects team data securely using strong security measures including two factor authentication, hard passwords and access policies. Your data is always encrypted, whether it is chat, notes or files.
It’s your data, you own it, you control it. Microsoft does not mine customer data for advertising purposes and we safeguard customer data with strong contractual commitments.
In keeping with our commitment to provide customers the utmost transparency, customers can see uptime, the location of their data, and detailed reports of how Office 365 controls map to the security, privacy, compliance and risk management controls defined in the Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Control Matrix (CSA CCM).
Microsoft Teams is enterprise grade, with support in 18 languages across 181 markets and 6 data centers worldwide, a 99.9% financially backed SLA and 24/7 support.
Speaker Notes:
The important piece of information to land is that Microsoft Teams lives on existing Office 365 workloads, enhancing end users collaborative capabilities while leveraging existing services they are already (likely) very familiar with. Microsoft Teams is built on the reliability and performance of Office 365.
From an IT Pro perspective, there is no infrastructure to manage for Microsoft Teams.
Microsoft Teams is built on Office 365 and leverages the rich authentication options offered by the platform including aligning with existing Office 365 Azure Active Directory authentication policies. 3 authentication schemes are available. Those being, Cloud Identity, Synchronized Identity and Federated Identify.
Cloud Identity represents users being homed in Azure Active Directory.
Synchronized Identity is on-premises accounts sync’d to the cloud via Azure Active Directory Sync with Password sync. Authentication still occurs in the cloud.
Federated Identity represents having an ADFS deployment where access to Office 365 services will redirect to the ADFS deployment for on-premises authentication and authorization.
Additionally, MFA, smart card, and certificate-based authentication are supported via Active Directory Authentication Language (ADAL) integration. Depending on the Authentication scheme selection, there are different MFA features available.
Cloud Only
Phone Call
Text Messages
Mobile App Notification
Mobile App Verification Code
Hybrid Setup
MFA for Office 365
Azure MFA module (ADFS integrated)
Physical or virtual smart card (ADFS integrated)
Speaker Notes:
To complement Microsoft Teams capability as a persistent chat board where informal, real-time, conversations around very focused topics or specific sub-groups within the group take place, Microsoft Teams also supports real time conversations.
Given that Skype (Consumer), Skype for Business and Microsoft Teams are all being built to leverage the next generation calling infrastructure, you may see Microsoft Teams connecting to what appear to be Skype (Consumer) based URLs or IP addresses. The reality is that Microsoft Teams, Skype (Consumer) and Skype for Business are all leveraging new technology built to appropriately support each service.
*Microsoft Teams does not currently support the ability for users outside of your organization to join teams.
Speaker Notes:
Be very clear that while management of O365 Group members and owners can technically still be performed via the O365 Groups area of the Admin portal, that is not the recommended approach. Once a team exists, all management of that team should be performed via a Microsoft Teams client.
Speaker Notes:
Share the various tenant-level feature controls that are available. Encourage the organization to proceed with all default options, unless there are genuine business requirements to limit features and functionality.
* The organization level on/off switch is only temporary and will go away. Turning Microsoft Teams on/off should always been controlled by individual user licensing assignment.
By default all settings, except for side-loading bots will be enabled by default
Turn Microsoft Team on or off for your entire organization

Speaker Notes:
Be clear that tenant-level settings supersede teams level settings. If an organization disables feature functionality at the tenant-level, than that feature functionality will not be available to Teams and Channels.
Unless business requirements dictate the limitation of certain features and functionality, it is highly recommended to leave those capabilities enabled and at the discretion of team owners.
Microsoft Teams has clients available for web, desktop, and mobile
Web:
Browser must also be configured to allow third party cookies.
Desktop:
Both 32-bit & 64-bit available for Windows – will match the architecture of the OS. This is agnostic of the Office version
Admin rights are not required on Windows, but is required on a Mac
Desktop clients can be downloaded and installed by end users directly from https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads
Admins can also download the installer and distribute it through client distribution tools such as System Center Configuration Manager (Windows) or Casper Suite (MacOS).
Note: this is only for the initial install, updates will still be done over the air automatically
Mobile:
Mobile apps are distributed and updated through the respective mobile platform’s app store only, and are not available to be distributed directly through MDM (mobile device management) solutions or side-loaded.
The Web client will perform browser version detection upon connecting to https://teams.microsoft.com.
Unsupported version of browsers will be blocked and will recommend user to download the desktop client or mobile app.
Speaker Notes:
Microsoft Teams is intentionally available on the majority of SKUs available with Office 365, the goal is to allow all of your users to get started using Microsoft Teams with the licenses they have today!
Core functionalities (chat-based workspace, and meetings with audio, video, and content group calling) of Microsoft Teams are available to all supported subscription plans
All supported subscription plans are eligible for access to Microsoft Teams’ Web client, desktop clients, and mobile apps
Information protection (security and compliance) requirements may dictate the appropriate subscription plans needed to implement not only Microsoft Teams, but also the overall Office 365 solution for the organization
Microsoft Teams is also available for non-profit organizations.
Government and licensing is not currently supported, but are being investigated for future support.
At the user-level, access to Microsoft Teams can be enabled of disabled on a per user basis by assigning or removing the Microsoft Teams product license
Microsoft Teams license is automatically enabled when a user is assigned with a supported Office 365 subscription plan license
Microsoft recommends that you leave the license enabled for all users.
If your organization is looking to pilot Microsoft Teams, it is still recommended to leave the license on for all users, however only notify the set of pilot users about the ability to leverage Microsoft Teams.
If you still feel the need to restrict to a set of users, leverage the existing PowerShell guidance on how to enable/disable per workload licenses per user (https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn771770.aspx)
Speaker Notes:
When presenting this slide, if Internet access is available, click the link and review the network requirements for Microsoft Teams
Explain the preference of UDP traffic and why that is preferred for real time media over TCP.
If needed, the 3 upcoming slides show the call flow data for different scenarios.
Here we have the one on one private chat call flow. We have Alice and Bob, both are signed in into their Teams clients.
You can see that the client will always send chat content via Chat Service in Office 365. Since this is text, pictures and files, we can tolerate some network latency.
Here each client uses port 443 to send information to the Chat Service.
For the audio, video and desktop sharing however, we want all traffic to be as direct as possible.
We leverage a protocol called ICE to find the most optimal media path.
In this case a direct connection is possible. This means that both clients can directly communicate to each other. For example two clients can talk directly to each other, if they both have public IPs or they are both in the same internal network. This is great because latency will be as minimal as possible and within your internal network media traffic does not need to go to the internet.
For those who are interested ICE STUN and TURN are the protocols we are using here
In this example Alice and Bob are still trying to have a private chat conversation, but they are on different networks.
The chat content still directly goes to the Chat Service.
This way they can exchange private chats and also contribute to the same channels. As you see the firewall between Alice and Bob is not a problem.
However if Alice and Bob want to add any real-time workload to their chat, they’ll run into a problem. As you can see the direct connections are blocked. This could be a company firewall or a firewall at the specific location where Bob or Alice are currently.
This is where we will use Office 365 as a media relay. Alice will establish a connection to Office 365 and Bob will establish a connection to Office 365 for this particular media session. The media relay (actually called transport relay) will proxy the real-time media and relay it to the other user.
The preferred protocol is UDP on ports 3478, 3479, 3480, 3481, but can fall back to TCP 443 if they have to. We’ll talk in a later slide to why we prefer UDP.
Alice and Bob can now still have a real-time session, even if there is no direct connection between the users.
This path is less optimal as all traffic needs to travel first to relay and then to the other user. This will impact latency and network path – but usually these delay should not exceed a few milliseconds. The important point is that Alice and Bob will still be able to talk to each other.
Speaker Notes:
Drive the discussion on bandwidth calculations by leveraging the information shared at http://aka.ms/bwcalc.
Take the opportunity to do some specific calculations for the attendees of the workshop, to get an initial understanding of what network impact that can expect from Microsoft Teams.
If needed, leverage the next set of hidden slides to dive into the bandwidth requirements.
To test both network segments (Client to Microsoft Edge and Customer Edge to Microsoft Edge) the Microsoft Network Assessment Tool can be used (source: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53885).
This tool can be deployed on both the client PC directly, as well as a PC/laptop connected to the Customer Network Edge.
The tool includes limited documentation, but a deeper documentation around the usage of the tool can be found here: Network Readiness Assessment.
By running this Network Readiness Assessment, you can validate your networks readiness to run real time media applications, such as Microsoft Teams.
Note: this is the same Network Readiness Assessment that is recommended to be run for customers who are looking to successfully deploy Skype for Business.
Objective: Wrap up presentation and deliver call to action
