Looking to do more with your communications?

Microsoft Teams has helped revolutionise the workplace andhow many businesses operate in 2020, but a lot of organisations aren’t gettingas much out of this invaluable communications tool as they could be. AtReliance Communications, we’ve seen a steady lift in number of enquiries on howto make the most of Teams (and other UC solutions) in 2020. To make the most of Microsoft Teams, you should take a newlook at your communications environment and infrastructure. Give us a call we’ll be more than happy to run an audit of your communications environment andoffer a pathway to next-generation features on Microsoft Teams such as these:
Built-in translation tools It’s not uncommon for a company to employ workers fromaround the globe that speak different languages. While that is a barrier tocommunication, Microsoft Teams is able to automatically translate text fromanother language into your native tongue. This is as simple as hitting theellipsis on a message and then hitting the Translate button. This is muchquicker than copying the text and going to another translation tool and makesconversing with those around the globe a breeze.
Rich text You have a lot more options when sending a message throughMicrosoft Teams than you might initially realise. By hitting the format buttonon the far-left of the message box, you will bring up rich text options, suchas adding colour, bolding and underlining words and other options. You can alsoadd a subject line to a message, which will help organise your conversation.It's also easy to add in lists, both bulleted and numbered.
Notifications customisation If you are a member of several Microsoft Team channels, thenit’s easy to get distracted with all of the messages being sent. By clicking onyour profile picture and going to “notifications”, you can select what type ofalerts you get and can set the frequency. This is very helpful if you belong tochannels you don't often need to use but still want to keep an eye on.
Make the most of video with Reliance Communications Whether you use Microsoft Teams, or any other communicationssolution, chances are that you’ll be using video. There is so much that you cando with most of these video conferencing solutions, such as record meetings sothat anyone that missed the call can view it later, or even generate a writtentranscript of the meeting automatically. Another helpful tip is to blur your background while in avideo meeting. Since many are working from home due to the pandemic, it’s notuncommon for your children or significant other to be running around whileyou’re trying to work. Blurred backgrounds allow privacy at home while stillallowing people to participate in the meetings. As you can see, there is a lot that can be donewith modern communications tools. At Reliance Communications, we are completelyvendor agnostic – it doesn’t need to be Microsoft Teams. Our goal is simply toget your communications environment delivering real productivity gains quickly.Contact us on 1300 656 911 to start the conversation.
