Measures reported by MTMTeamsInvTest

Microsoft Teams allows individual teams to self-organize and collaborate across business scenarios.

Teams are a collection of people, content, and tools surrounding different projects and outcomes within an organization.

  • Teams can be created to be private to only invited users.

  • Teams can also be created to be public and open and anyone within the organization can join (up to 10,000 members).

Conversations, files and notes across team channels are only visible to members of the team.

Channels are dedicated sections within a team to keep conversations organized by specific topics, projects, disciplines. Files that you share in a channel (on the Files tab) are stored in SharePoint.

Channels are places where conversations happen and where the work actually gets done. Channels can be open to all team members or, if you need a more select audience, they can be private. Channels are most valuable when extended with apps that include tabs, connectors, and bots that increase their value to the members of the team.

In order to ascertain how well Microsoft Teams is used in an organization, administrators need to audit the usage of Microsoft Teams periodically. Such audits reveal if there are any inactive users on Microsoft Teams. Administrators can then identify the inactive users, understand the reason for inactivity, and decide whether/not their corresponding user accounts on Microsoft Teams need to be removed. To run these useful usage audits at configured intervals, administrators can use the MTMTeamsInvTest test.

Using this test, administrators can figure out the total number of active and inactive teams users on the target Microsoft Teams. The total count of teams and channels created on the target Microsoft Teams can also be determined. In addition, administrators can figure out the number of private teams and public teams created the target Microsoft Teams. The detailed diagnosis of this test helps administrators figure out the last active time of the inactive users and the teams with maximum number of channels.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the monitored Microsoft Teams.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
teamscount Indicates the total number of teams created in the target Microsoft Teams within the organization. Number  
privtetems Indicates the total number of teams that are private i.e, exclusive only to the members of the teams. Number  
publictems Indicates the total number of teams that are public i.e., all users of an organization are free to join the team. Number  
chanlsCnt Indicates the total number of channels created for communication by the users of the teams. Number The detailed diagnosis of the Channels measure reveals the teams that are utilizing the maximum number of channels. Besides, the detailed diagnostics also reveals the date on which the team was created, the number of members in the team and the name of the team owner.
activetems Indicates the number of currently active users belonging to the teams. Number  
inactivtems Indicates the number of users belonging to the teams who are currently inactive. Number The detailed diagnosis of the Inactive teams users measure reveals which user belonging to which team is inactive. You may want to check the detailed diagnostics periodically to figure out the last activity of the user in a team and start investigating on why the user had been inactive for a longer duration.
