Just remember that a Yammer Community and a Teams Team are really Groups behind the scenes! The Group is about permissions the apps are about doing work. A Group in Teams is pretty much known only as a Team.Yammer Groups are generally called Groups or Communities (your call).In fact, there used to even be an iOS app for them called (wait for it) Outlook Groups. Outlook Groups are called… Outlook Groups.Generally, the way you refer to your Group will depend how it was created: There is overlap between some of these I’ll cover later in this article. You can have 1) an Outlook Group, 2) a Yammer Group, or 3) a Teams Group. There are three main types of Groups, and they’re created based on the way your Group wants to communicate.
“Groups” is-in the way you’ll experience it in everyday work life-a generalized collaborative experience in O365.
#SKYPE FOR OFFICE 365 MAC SERIES#
Once you create the Group (the collection of people), it tips the first domino of a series that provide you a suite of Office 365 apps that you can use to communicate and collaborate. It’s basically an upgraded version of an Outlook distribution group you know, like if you email that email gets forwarded to all of accounting? It’s basically the same thing.īut that’s not the experience you get when you work with a Group. Simply put, a Microsoft 365 Group is a collection of people. And below is some more detailed coverage of what the infographic means. Above is an infographic to get you started with Groups. For example, you don’t access a Group through a standard “Groups” web interface: you can get there through Outlook, Yammer, Teams, or elsewhere. This makes things difficult because "Groups" is more a concept or an experience than it is a thing. You’re not going to find it in the Waffle, which confuses… everybody. Why? Because few people (even in my field) can explain Groups well… or correctly. There’s little-to-no learning curve: get in and start working.īut they’re also one of the most confusing new things in Office 365. They provide quick, easy access to an online workspace for communicating with colleagues and collaborating on documents and files.

Quoted replies have been available in the Teams mobile clients for a couple of months (Figure 1). It’s available in 1:1, group, and meeting chat but not in channel conversations. In passing, it’s nice to see that the Teams engineering group continues to respond to customers in Teams User Voice despite Microsoft’s decision to withdraw from the User Voice platform last March. For instance, WhatsApp has had quoted replies since June 2016. Given the usefulness of quoted replies and the demand for the feature expressed by customers, it’s surprising that it’s taken Microsoft quite so long to introduce it in Teams on all platforms. According to Microsoft, a quoted reply “is a great way to add context and clarity with who you are conversing with whether it is a recent message or from one earlier in the conversation.” The Usefulness of Quoted RepliesĪ quoted reply is a concept familiar to users of other chat apps or indeed, email, where it’s long been possible to include some or all the content of a previous message in a response. Other people will be able to read quoted replies (including in browser clients) even if they can’t send one back to you. Don’t worry about using quoted replies before everyone else in your tenant has access to the feature. My reading is that the preview announcement is for people who want to use quoted replies early before general availability reaches their tenant. MC285886 only covers the Teams desktop clients. The preview announcement covers preview availability for the Teams desktop clients (Windows, Mac, and Linux) with the promise that quoted replies will soon be available for the Teams browser clients. The announcement is also covered in Microsoft 365 message center notification MC285886 ( roadmap item 81113), which says that the feature roll-out starts in mid-September and should be complete in early October. On September 17, Microsoft announced the availability of quoted replies for chat messages for all users configured to use Teams public preview (the cool kids with the P beside their user photo).
