Configuring Network Settings for Microsoft Teams

Course Overview
Hi everyone. My name is Jeff Brown, and welcome to my course, Configuring Network Settings for Microsoft Teams. I am a Windows System Engineer that has spent my career focusing on Microsoft technologies, and lately I've been working with their newest collaboration product, Microsoft Teams, which is the fastest growing service in Office 365. In this course, we are going to cover everything you need to know about preparing your network for Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams is not an ordinary cloud application. It requires that your network can handle real‑time media traffic to ensure your Microsoft Teams users have the best audio and video experience they can. Some of the topics we will cover include discussing network best practices for connecting to the Microsoft 365 cloud, understanding how Microsoft Teams establishes voice and video calls inside and outside your corporate network, how to perform network bandwidth planning and how to implement quality of service with Microsoft Teams, and once Microsoft Teams is deployed, how to monitor and troubleshoot network quality using tools such as Call Analytics and the Call Quality Dashboard. By the end of this course, you'll have a solid foundation to plan and configure network settings for Microsoft Teams. Before beginning the course, you should be familiar with network concepts like DNS and tools like ping and traceroute. We'll be covering tools available from Microsoft for testing your network, such as the Microsoft 365 network connectivity tester and the Network Testing Companion. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn about Microsoft Teams with the Configuring Network Settings for Microsoft Teams course, here at Pluralsight.
