Groups
A Microsoft 365 Group connects users to a number of different tools that they can use together. When created, the following are added:
- Shared mailbox, much like a traditional distribution list for email conversations between group members or communication outside the group or organisation
- Shared calendar, to schedule events related to the group
- SharePoint Document Library, to store and share files
- Shared OneNote Notebook, for gathering ideas, research, and information
A Microsoft 365 Group in does does not offer the communication features of Microsoft Teams.
Teams
Microsoft Teams provides a way to organise text chats, video calls, voice calls, documents and files. Users can connect with each other, hold meetings, reference SharePoint dashboards, and connect with third-party solutions.
Teams consolidates many services. It can be used to modify and maintain Groups in Microsoft 365, and when initially created will automatically generate a Microsoft 365 Group for access to its tools and structure.
Microsoft 365 Groups and Teams can be requested through the Create Nexus365 Team or Group service request.
