Nowadays, as we all know, all over the world, many countries are suffering from COVID-19, for which the government is in lockdown. Due to this, all the organization’s operations have been stopped. Today we are going to learn “Connect Slack to Microsoft Teams.” There are various online chat rooms available, one of which is “Slack,” initially developed in August 2013, which allows you to communicate through channels for group discussion and also permits you to send private messages to share files, information, and other organizational documents in a single place. However, it has a good competitor, “Microsoft Team,” which initially launched in October 2019 and is available in 26 languages. It is a unified communication platform that allows its users to do chat, video conferencing, and private messaging on a single platform.

Noteworthy

  • Use the steps carefully to perform a particular operation.
  • Allow all members to be in a single place.
  • Check that all of your members are on your list.
