About Teams Fireside Chat
Teams Fireside Chat is a relaxed monthly online user group for the community to get together and have an informal chat.Every second Thursday of the month at 16:00 UK (aiming to catch the end of the Europe day and the start of the US day), there will be an information-packed 20-minute session from an expert, and then we will open the floor to questions and chat. It could be about the session, but it could also be about anything Microsoft Teams.
