EP43 - Marianne Tansley – Making the most of Teams

Back by popular demand! Today I chat again with my very own Business Manager, Marianne about all things Teams. The difference between Teams and Zoom, how it works and what you need (or not) to use it.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you will have heard of Zoom, but not everyone talks about Teams in the same way, even though it does all that Zoom can, and more. Teams is a Microsoft application which allows you to video call for up to 30 hours – who knew! Marianne is passionate about making our money work harder in our business… Why would you pay for Zoom if you’re already paying for Microsoft?

It may surprise you to hear you don’t need to have a subscription to use it. So, let’s say you have a meeting set-up with a potential client, if they have sent you a link to join their meeting it doesn’t mean you have to have Microsoft Teams on your computer, laptop, or phone to join, you can simply come in as a guest. You can chat, share files, share links and much more.

Marianne managed to convert me into using Teams, I like to use it best on the go so I have it on my phone. It’s great if I need to contact my VA about something, I can quickly type a message and it’s there for when she’s next online to pick it up. It’s been a bit of a lifesaver.

Tune in to hear why Marianne raves about Teams, how she uses it in her business,  and which one of the Microsoft apps is her favourite.
