Getting started with Zoho Connect in Zoho Workplace

Zoho Connect is a unified team collaboration platform that brings teams together to share their ideas in a single place. From regular updates and file-sharing to hosting video town halls, Zoho Connect keeps teams informed of everything happening across the organization. 

Zoho Connect allows you to create networks where you can add team members, create group and interact with them. By default, a network will be created for your organization when a Zoho Workplace account is created.
