Teams

Teams Overview

 

Microsoft Teams is a communication platform in Office 365 that integrates people, content, and tools for your team for efficient and engaged collaboration.  You can chat, call, meet, and collaborate all in one platform.  It's not just an avenue for communication, but a virtual workspace as well.

One of the biggest benefits of using Teams is decreasing the volume of emails being sent and received, at times bogging down an inbox.  Consider the following scenarios:

Accessing and Setting up Teams

Teams- Access and Setup

Web App

Quickly access Teams through your Microsoft Office 365 account by logging into Outlook using your @ncu.edu credentials.

Watch the video or use the guide below to access and update your settings.

Download to Desktop or Download the Mobile App

You can also download Teams to your desktop instead of using the web app.  In the web app, click on the top right icon with the green checkmark (circle with picture if you have one uploaded to your Office 365 account).  At the bottom of the screen, you can select Download the desktop app.  In this same area, you can select Download the mobile app too.

After it installs, if you aren't signed in already, be sure to do so using your @ncu.edu credentials and select Work or school account.

The desktop install should place an icon on your desktop for quick access.
