Teams for Two


Recently, a few folks have asked about creating a Microsoft Teams for themselves and one other individual.  They say that they need a Team to share documents and conversations back and forth, exclusively between one another.

There is nothing to do here. 

Quite literally, it is already done! 

Microsoft read your mind.

Using the Chat feature within Microsoft Teams makes this happen.

The moment you begin a chat with another individual, you are creating a Team in which only you and that individual are included.

Obviously, the conversation is only accessible to you and the other individual.

In addition, documents you share in that chat are only accessible to you and the other individual.

Access any of the documents and links you have shared through that chat at any time by clicking the “Shared” link that appears next to “Chat” at the top of the chat with that person.

Upload and collaborate on documents with that individual here too!

Nearly anything that you can do within a Team created for multiple individuals can be done in Chat too, even adding Apps to your chat (just click the “+” next to “Shared” at the top.

But wait, there’s more … You can even have a Team with yourself!  What?  Sure!  Just click your name at the top of the chat and make notes, upload files, or just test out how things work in the chat space.

Crazy, huh?
