Is Microsoft Teams a good Intranet?
Our company is fully on Microsoft 365, but employees still struggle to find basic information like policies, company updates, forms, department resources, and important links. Most of it is scattered across SharePoint sites, Teams channels, emails, and random folders. I want to turn Microsoft Teams into that hub where all of this lives, kind of like an intranet. Any suggestions?

Hello,
To be honnest, Teams is not really designed to be an intranet, but you can absolutely make it the front door to one using the tools you already have in Microsoft 365.
I would recommend starting by structuring your content in SharePoint. Create Communication Sites for policies, forms, company news, and departmental resources, then connect them through Hub Sites to provide a consistent navigation experience. That's where the information should live, rather than being scattered across Teams channels.
Next, you can deploy Viva Connections in Teams. It acts as a bridge between your SharePoint intranet and Teams, giving employees access to a personalized dashboard, company news, key resources, and important links without leaving Teams.
The result is that your employees continue working in Teams, while the underlying content is properly organized, governed, and much easier to find.
Hope you find this useful
