For Teams Meeting

Your teacher may set up a meeting in Microsoft Teams, which can be accessed through your Single Sign-On (SSO).

Locate this app in your SSO and click on it to begin accessing Teams.

 

 

 

Getting Started and Getting to Know Teams

You may have to verify your student ID number and password when you access Teams in the SSO.

 

 

Step 1

When you are in Microsoft Teams, you may or may not see your Teams that you're enrolled in.

• I can see my teacher's Team! You can skip step 2
• I am not in my teacher's team. Please go to step 2.

 

 

Step 2

If you are not enrolled in your teacher's team and your teacher provided a code for you to enter their classroom, click Join at the top right of the Team's page and enter the class code.

 

*Please contact your teacher if you do not have a code to enroll in their Team.

When you're in your teacher's Team, you'll notice a few things:

 

The 'Me' Space

This left panel is directly related to you. Right now, we're just going to focus on using two buttons:

Channel Space

You’ll notice several channels listed in your channel space. Think of each channel as a room for smaller groups. They have their own workspace for groups to communicate and work on projects together. The General channel is the main channel where everyone begins at when they enter a Team.

The 'We' Space

This is where everyone has access to view shared files, hold conversations and virtual meetings and more. Remember that each channel has its own workspace.

You can find the virtual meeting your teacher created in the We space.
