As with other Dummies books this is well laid out and accessible. The only think I would say was that the Figures (screen shots) were not all on the pages the text related to so you had to flick back or forward, ad some of them could have been bigger. However, it is still a very helpful book, I got it via my local library who were still lending during lockdown, just to take a look before committing to buying. The latest version is due out later in 2021 so I will be buying that to go alongside For Dummies Office 365.
I'll echo was most reviewers probably say: Yes, if you are proficient at M$ stuff to begin with, you don't need this book. And everything can pretty much all of the info can be found on the internet. But I'm still happy I have this as a reference for a couple of things, and I like having books because internet reading can get overwhelming and/or tiresome.
Great introduction to Microsoft Teams. As the author notes, Teams is constantly changing but the concepts continue to hold. This book has been out about a month as I read it, and already there were changes from book illustrations to the program as I looked at it. That’s a good thing.
