Whether you have MS Teams as your video / chat platform, or you need to use it when a candidate or client sends you a link to a Teams meeting, you need to nail this crucial tech.
Simply using Teams for the odd chat or video call, and pressing Join and Leave is not smart. Knowing how to use it to communicate, screen and sell is critical. Don't allow the tech to let you down.
