Office 365 Groups Explained - New blog series
Hi everyone, Noticed that Office 365 Groups are still a topic that starts a lot of discussions and often associated with those I hear things that are simply not true 🙂 So I decided to start a b...
- Hey Steven!
Skype is not integrated to Office 365 Groups, Microsoft Teams is and does provide Chat/Meeting functionality. The tech used is Skype, but not to the point to put it in there.
I put SharePoint under Site & File, meaning everything you mentioned above. The description also mentions that it gives you everything SharePoint Site Collection gives you. News aka Pages in a library, Lists, Document Libraries not for pages, etc... PowerApps, Flows and all kind of things that can be attached to SharePoint.
Kept it simple in the interest of being able to quick consuming it.
Just curious though, did something in the way I put SharePoint confuse you?
Will continue to work on it as things change, thanks for commenting!
I like the diagram, but would suggest some enhancements. To me the new SharePoint is about News, Files and Lists and so becomes quite simple to describe. There needs to be some Skype in their somewhere, maybe under meetings.

- Skype 4B can use a Group to send messages, view presence etc. I know it's a bit disconnected, but it's kind of awkward to draw an Office 365 picture without Skype on it.
The SharePoint description doesn't sound very enticing, "all the usual features" doesn't really get across the new site experience, modern pages, modern lists etc. I tell my users this is all new stuff, an exciting new service.Fair point for SharePoint, will see if I can "sell it more". The point I want to bring across though is more what you get with an Office 365 Group.
Note that it is not an Office 365 Picture I am painting, but one that explains what you get when you create an Office 365 Group. And unfortunately, you don't get anything in Skype when you create a Group.Here's a group in my Skype App, I can use it as a DL, send a message to all etc.
