This course is the first of a two-part series that helps you study for the MS-700 exam and learn the official best practices for planning and configuring Teams in an enterprise environment. Instructor Robert McMillen helps you prepare an upgrade path from Skype for Business and assess network capacity. He then shows how to configure important settings, set up access for guests and external users, and create the roles, policies, and alerts necessary to secure your deployment. Finally, Robert teaches you how to manage Teams endpoints and monitor service usage and call quality to ensure your users have the best Teams experience possible.
