Build content into your Microsoft Teams Communication Strategy
Microsoft 365 teams often struggle with siloed content and fragmented conversations. Files buried in SharePoint libraries go unused. Discussions in Teams lack context without easy access to supporting documents.
In this four-hour deep dive, Mark Kashman (Senior Product Manager at Microsoft, SharePoint and Lists team) demonstrates how to integrate SharePoint content seamlessly into Teams for richer communication. He covers files, pages, lists, and Viva, with demos showing where content lives, how conversations blend, and practical setup steps. Expect breadth across modern tools, plus roadmap insights and Q&A.
