Microsoft Teams is a tool for teamwork, thanks to which we can, mainly but not limited to, remotely conduct video conferences, create meetings or share selected files.

All employees and students of UKSW have access to the service, but depending on the assigned licenses, they receive different functionalities. This means that people from outside the University cannot participate in meetings organized by people from the University or be added to teams.

Scheduling meetings Teams calendar at the moment is limited, as the university is in the process of migrating employees to the new e-mail system based on Microsoft Exchange software.

⚠️ Important!

Scheduling meetings in relation to the calendar at the moment is technically limited, as the university is in the process of migrating employees to the new e-mail system based on Microsoft Exchange software.

 

Guide to using MS Teams

We can use the MS Teams service in the browser by logging in to https://teams.microsoft.com/ with the appropriate data to Office 365 or download the application to your computer.

 

 

If you want to create a new team or join an existing team, select  Join team or create a new one.

 

To join an existing team, you must have a code - it should be delivered to you by the person managing the team.

 

 

We create a new team. We give our team a name and set the privacy of the team, i.e. how others can join the team. Optionally, we add a description of the group. After completing it, we move on.

 

This is where we can add members to our team, we can skip it and add them at a later time.

 

Your team has been created. General channel is created autmatically, that all members of our team have access to. After selecting the More options button next to the name of our team, we will see a list of functionalities that we can manage.

    • add members as well as assign roles to them (team owner, member);
    • accept invitations to join our team (if we have authorized it);
    • create channels;
    • manage settings, e.g. permissions of members, guests; here we can generate team code that we can share to join our team;
    • manage applications;
    • see the analyzes.

Create channels

1. In the team we have chosen, we use the Add channel option.

We give a name to our channel and choose whether it should be available as a standard channel, i.e. available to all people in our team, or private, which means that only the people indicated by us will have access there. Attention! Only people who are on the team can access channels on the team!

 

3. If we set the channel as private, in the next step we add people who are to have access to the channel; after adding all participants, save the changes

 

4. After saving, we can add materials to a group of participants indicated by us.
