Chat-based workspace in Office 365

  • Chat for today's teams

    Files that you share in a channel are stored in your team's SharePoint folder. Files that you share in a private or group conversation are stored in your OneDrive for Business folder and are shared with the people in that conversation.

  • Keep up to date on any device

    The Activity Log on the mobile app makes staying up-to-date simple. Notifications keep you informed of recent changes to conversations you’re involved in such as @mentions, replies, and likes.

  • Security teams trust

    Get the enterprise-level security and compliance features you expect from Office 365.
