Settings Within Teams - Best Practices

I want to give the Teams setup in my Org a once over.

 

Is there a pdf or website with a specific list of what not to do etc.

 

We are just trying to double check we are set up as far as possible from a Best Practices scenario.

 

Thoughts?

  • Jeremy_Heath Hello! I understand what you're looking for but from a "security vs end-user perspective" it's probably up to the business requirements. Such as compliance, regulations and policies as well. Anyway, here's an official best practice for organizing teams in Microsoft Teams https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/best-practices-organizing

     

    Probably not what you requested but it's something. I'm sure a search will give you several hits on best practice scenarios.

      Hi again, I had already had a look at that.

       

      I don't need anything with channels etc as ours is limited to 2 channels which don't really get used our lads tend to just schedule meetings and then do voice calls. 

       

      We are a Slack using company for our day-to-day chat.

       

      Its mainly just something to read up on what should be turned on/off and why. 

       

      Just trying to not have any stupid risks with teams.

       

      Thanks again for the help

        Jeremy_Heath Well, I would at least go through the external access and guest settings.

         

        https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/manage-external-access

        https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/guest-access

         

        File permissions for members and guests reflect whatever the admin has set
