MS Teams - Overview

Introduction

MS Teams is a communication and collaboration tool offered by the university to support faculty, staff, and students who are working remotely. This is a good singular space to conduct video calls, chat, share files, and collaborate on projects.

 

Please Note: Brightspace is the university's official LMS. Please use Brightspace for asynchronous course instruction and utilize MS Teams only for synchronous meetings. There is no support for the "Class" option in MS Teams at this time.
