MS-900 Describe Microsoft 365 apps and services Practice Question
A user wants to quickly set up a website for their team to share news and resources. Which Microsoft 365 app should they use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse Microsoft Teams with a website creation tool because Teams includes tabs for SharePoint pages and files, but Teams itself is not a website platform—SharePoint is the underlying service for site creation and content management.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
SharePoint
SharePoint is the correct choice because it is specifically designed for creating team sites that serve as centralized hubs for sharing news, documents, and resources. With SharePoint, users can quickly provision a modern team site using pre-built templates, add web parts for news feeds and document libraries, and manage permissions for team members. This directly meets the requirement for a website to share news and resources.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Microsoft Teams
Why it's wrong here
Microsoft Teams is a collaboration hub designed for persistent chat, meetings, and real-time file collaboration, not a website creation tool. It does not provide a page builder, site navigation, or the ability to publish a standalone web page that can be accessed by a broader audience. While Teams channels can embed SharePoint content via tabs, the Teams interface itself remains an internal workspace rather than a public or team website.
- ✗
Microsoft Viva
Why it's wrong here
Microsoft Viva is an employee experience platform that aggregates tools for workplace wellbeing, learning, and organizational insights across Microsoft 365. It does not include any website authoring capability; instead, it surfaces content from other services like SharePoint through components like Viva Connections. Choosing Viva to build a team website would confuse the platform's purpose of improving employee engagement with the site creation functionality found in SharePoint.
- ✗
Yammer
Why it's wrong here
Yammer operates as an enterprise social network focused on open conversations, community groups, and newsfeed-style updates within an organization. It lacks the structured page layout, web parts, and site management features needed to publish a static or dynamic website for a team. Yammer also does not provide custom navigation or permission-controlled web pages, making it fundamentally unsuited as a website builder.
- ✓
SharePoint
Why this is correct
SharePoint is the correct choice because SharePoint communication sites are built specifically to create team-oriented web pages for sharing news, documents, and resources. Through modern web parts, flexible layouts, and granular site-level permissions, a user can quickly build a polished website without writing code. SharePoint Online supports both internal sharing and external sharing with appropriate configuration, making it the Microsoft 365 workload that actually delivers a website experience.
