Frequently asked questions regarding Microsoft Teams will be addressed below.
Q: Do I need to be part of a Team in order to use Microsoft Teams?
A: No you do not. You can still use the Chat, Calendar, Meetings, and other features of Microsoft Teams outside of the core Teams feature.
Q: Who is licensed for Microsoft Teams?
A: All OTC students, staff, and faculty are licensed to use Microsoft Teams.
Q: Are there limits to how many channels I can make in a team?
A: Yes, there are. Currently, Microsoft limits teams to having 200 channels per team, and 30 private channels per team. This includes deleted channels, so if you delete a private channel in your team, it still counts against your total.
