Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a team and a channel?
A team is a group of people with shared files and conversations. Channels are the sections inside a team, usually one per project or topic. Our team vs channel tutorial explains when to use each.
Where are Teams files stored?
Files shared in a channel are stored in the team's SharePoint site. Files shared in a private chat are stored in the sender's OneDrive.
How do I record a Teams meeting?
Start the recording from the meeting controls, if your organization allows it. Recordings are saved to OneDrive or SharePoint. The Meetings topic covers recording, downloading and deleting recordings.
Can I manage Teams with PowerShell?
Yes. The MicrosoftTeams PowerShell module lets admins create teams, manage members and change settings in bulk. See our Connect to Microsoft Teams using PowerShell tutorial.
Should I use Teams or SharePoint?
Use Teams for day-to-day conversation and meetings, and SharePoint for structured content like intranets, document libraries and lists. They work together: every team has a SharePoint site behind it.
