You can access Microsoft Teams by going to https://teams.microsoft.com and logging on with your email address and password. However, we do recommend for you to install the desktop or mobile app. This is the best way to access all the features of the platform.

For additional details on how to do this, please refer to the Microsoft Teams Usage Guide document: https://www.rsccd.edu/Departments/Information-Technology-Services/Documents/End%20User%20Training/Microsoft-Teams-Usage-Guide.pdf

Teams and Channels are conversation threads that help groups of people get organized with more focused conversations. A Team is the overall group of people working on a project (e.g., Human Resources). Each Team usually contains one or more Channel(s) that cover more specialized topics (e.g., Benefits, Employment and Collective Bargaining). You must be invited to a Team or Channel in order to view it.

To join a meeting, you need an invitation link, or need to be directly invited in the Teams app by someone who is starting a meeting. To start or schedule your own meeting, you can use the Meeting function in the Teams app, or schedule a meeting using the calendar in Outlook.
