Spaces
Conversation spaces for individuals and groups within your team
Teams
Organized groups of people
Spaces are within teams. For example, all members of the eLearning department are
in the eLearning team. Within that team, we have separate conversation spaces for various purposes.
Calls
This feature does not yet have the capability to dial phone numbers, but can be used to start a Webex Teams Call, which is similar to a Webex Meeting. Just enter an email address for whomever you wish to conference with.
Meetings
Log of your Webex Teams Calls
Note: The "Meetings" screen only shows Webex Teams Calls, NOT Webex Meetings, although they are similar tools. Your Webex Meetings can be viewed at msubillings.webex.com.
