FunctionDescription and Limitations
Adding New Members to an Established Chat

When a current member of a Chat invites a new member, the invitee has the option to include all historical chat records, but not all shared files. The new member will not be able to see any files shares as part of the chat prior to when they were added as a member. This is because when a file is shared in a Chat it is stored in the OneDrive account of the chat member who shared it and Team will automatically provide access to all current members of the chat. However, new chat members will still be able to see the previously shared files and can request access to them.

Mobile vs. Desktop features and functionsThe web and and smartphone cloud apps are slimmed down versions of the desktop app and you may notice some missing functionality, such as the inability to edit wiki pages in the IOS and Android Apps, or the inability to share your screen during a chat in the web browser.
Email sent to a Team ChannelThe ability to Email a Channel has been permanently disabled. The team is associated with a Microsoft Group which does have an associated inbox.  Individuals outside the team or external to the ITS tenant can email the group inbox in order to get information to Team member, however the email and content will not be present in the Team.
Sharing your Screen in a ChatYou will need to use the Teams Desktop app to share your screen within a chat or if using the desktop app is not an option you can schedule a meeting with the person and share your screen while in the meeting.
