Mastering Microsoft Teams Meetings

Helping 'Teams' live up to its name

In this hands-on and practical session, we’ll show you how to turn Microsoft Teams from “just another video call” into a genuinely useful collaboration space. Whether you’re leading meetings daily or occasionally, you’ll learn how to use Teams features more intentionally – to keep people engaged, focused, and clear on what happens next.

We’ll explore how small tweaks in preparation – from setting agendas to using the Teams lobby and presenter roles – can transform how your meeting flows. You’ll also get a feel for all the hidden gems in Teams, like immersive spaces, polls, whiteboards, and breakout rooms, that help bring energy and clarity to your virtual get-togethers.

You’ll come away with not just technical know-how, but also the confidence to shape meetings that are thoughtful, engaging, and productive – every single time.

This workshop can be delivered as a standalone workshop, or as the perfect addition to ‘Fixing Meetings’. Mastering Microsoft Teams shows your people how to use Teams to create the purposeful, structured, inclusive meetings that we champion in Fixing Meetings. At the point where people create meetings, there are lots of features people overlook, and this workshop dives into them.

I have realised that we have been using MS Teams very inefficiently and am already going away with new ideas for how our team can work collaboratively together online more effectively

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover AI and Copilot inside Teams?
Yes. We look at how AI features, including Copilot, can make meetings clearer, faster and more structured. We focus on practical examples such as summaries, action capture and preparation prompts, and show where AI supports good meeting habits and where human judgment still matters.
Is this workshop technical or behavioural?
It’s a blend of both. We teach simple technical features inside Teams that improve meetings, but the core of the workshop focuses on the habits, decisions and behaviours that make meetings effective. The goal is not to become a Teams expert but to run meetings that feel shorter, clearer and more purposeful.
Will participants work on their own real meetings?
Yes. We encourage participants to bring upcoming meetings so they can redesign them live in the session. This ensures the learning transfers immediately to real work.
