This means that Teams is giving Office 365 users access to SharePoint Online document libraries and site functionality, OneNote, Planner, and a whole bunch of other features. When you think about this in the context of the rest of the Office 365 stack, Microsoft Teams adds an extra layer of functionality on top of Office 365 Groups. What this effectively means is that Teams is a single pane of glass for people to communicate, collaborate, and ultimately work. You see, Microsoft Teams is not just a unified communication product it’s a collaboration tool, a window into other apps and services, (or, as it is being positioned by Microsoft, an “app hub”). However, this also presents a different challenge when it comes to Microsoft Teams. Ultimately cutting down the number of tools that do similar/the same things in Office 365 (now Microsoft 365), such as Skype and Teams, does indeed help to alleviate end user confusion.
