MS Teams - Introduction

This course is suitable for absolute beginners to MS Teams. We assume learners will already be familiar with using a keyboard, mouse, computer and assistive technology.  This Introduction course shows you how to 

  • get started with MS Teams and how to navigate around
  • set up a Team, join, add and remove members
  • adapt privacy options, how to search for and get attention of members
  • work in and with Channels
  • start a chat, a call and use meeting notes and understand the meeting control bar

Estimated Course duration is 2-3 hours. Each lesson takes on average 3-5 minutes to complete.

NOTE Microsoft is continually updating its software, unlike in the past where you could expect a new version every few years. New versions are available regularly with changes.  So, as you are learning Teams keep in mind that some wording may differ but the concept remains the same.
