Meetings are an essential place where work happens in Microsoft Teams — whether you're engaging an important client or catching up on a group discussion.
There are three parts to a Teams meeting:
-
Before: When you create and send out an invite.
-
During: When everyone meets.
-
After: When people share recaps and action items.
