Microsoft Teams Governance isn’t just important – for most organisations I’d argue that it is absolutely essential. For many organisations Microsoft Teams has rapidly become the central tool for facilitating both internal and external communications and collaboration and has become one of the central locations for storing and processing business information.
So the real question here isn’t whether governing Microsoft Teams is important – it’s whether governing your information is important. We strongly feel that this question isn’t really open to debate! Irrespective of size or sector, governing your information is of critical importance to pretty much every organsiation.

First and foremost, turn off self-service creation. This is something that has been a problem since I started working with SharePoint back in 2007. Back then, there was a term ‘SharePoint sprawl’ which is similar to ‘Teams sprawl’, and today they are both a problem for many administrators.
People were creating SharePoint sites whenever and wherever they wanted. This resulted in silos with pockets of data that should have been housed within consolidated group sites. Additionally, sites were created and then never used, or used briefly then forgotten about. All of this led to unmanageable, unstructured, unmonitored chaos that proved challenging to resolve over time.

External guest access is a topic that often comes up during our Microsoft Teams projects. It’s fairly simple to enable external and guest access, however this should be done with caution.
In the Microsoft Teams admin center you can select “Manage teams” to be given a clear overview of your teams, as well as the number of guests within them. You cannot sort this data, and filtration is limited, but you can export it to Excel where you can then slice and dice the data as needed. Alternatively, the Teams Usage Report (available under Analytics & reports > Usage reports in the Teams Admin Center will give you visibility of teams with active external users over the last 7, 30 or 90 days.

Microsoft Teams Chat messages are stored within Azure.
A copy of each user’s chat is also stored within a hidden folder of that user’s mailbox (albeit this copy only features the core conversation, and doesn’t currently include reactions). Microsoft 365’s governance capabilities apply to this hidden copy. For example, it is this copy that can be found via eDiscovery processes or whilst undertaking information rights requests. It is also this copy that can have a retention policy applied to it.
Migrate from Skype for Business to Microsoft Teams
Skype for Business, previously known as Lync, was specifically made for voice and video calls.
Microsoft Teams has been built as an all-round team collaborating tool which allows for a collaborative environment, allowing users to share and collaborate on projects with popular Microsoft 365 apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, SharePoint, and Power BI, whilst also offering voice calls and video conferencing. For guidance on how Microsoft Teams will be replacing Skype for Business Online, take a look at our blog.
Users now have more attributes than ever before, with Hi-Fidelity screen share, even from your mobile device; background blur during video calls to avoid distractions, and pre-meet screens to allow you to adjust your settings before entering calls. Microsoft Teams is a complete collaboration tool when used with the rest of the Microsoft 365 applications.
Microsoft are pushing Teams as their main communication tool, so it’s constantly being developed. Even if your favourite Skype feature isn’t yet available, it won’t be long before it is. As part of our Microsoft Teams Services we can help you move from Skype to Microsoft Teams.
