Microsoft Teams allows team members in dispersed locations to communicate, share information, and work together in a common space. Video conferencing, one-to-one and team chats, document collaboration, conversation threads, and more make Microsoft Teams your one-stop shop for your communication and collaboration needs.
Here's a breakdown of the communication tools within Teams.
Chat
While Conversation Threads are public Posts in Channels, Chats are just between you and someone else (or a small group of added people).

@mentions
If you want to get someone's attention in a Channel Conversation thread or a chat, @mention them. Just type @ before their name and select them from the menu that displays. Your teammate will receive a notification with a link to go directly to the point where they were mentioned in the conversation.
