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!

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.
- Totally get what you mean Steven :)
It's just to me, that's accessing the Object in AAD that is the Group and doing a group chat. Skype doesn't create anything from my point of view. Same reason I wouldn't add Word for accessing the content stored somewhere in the Group.
Skype is definitely part of Office 365, but in this diagram I strictly wanted to show products that create something new that you should know about and will need to manage if your are an admin or Power User of some sort.
Again thanks, at the very least a good topic for a blog :D
- You do get an auto-updating contact list in S4B technically :)
Our users actually like that feature.
