Microsoft Dataverse is an Application Programming Interface, known as an API. Many of the Power Platform features can interact with Dataverse directly, or through built-in connectors which allows data to sit securely and connected in one place. Think of it as a series of apps which can come together to share data across multiple devices.

One of the key components of Microsoft Dataverse is the new capabilities they have enabled through Microsoft Teams. If you are currently a Teams user then listen up, as now through Microsoft Dataverse for Teams you have access to an incredible data platform for no extra costs, and if you are not currently using Microsoft Teams here is what you are missing out on!
