How do I join a virtual Teams meeting?

If your advisor is using Microsoft Teams to host your meetings, this quick guide can help you join anytime, anywhere, from any device. Accessing the meeting is a simple process and all you need is a link.

 

Select Click here to join the meeting in your meeting invite to be taken to a page where you can choose to:

1.) Download the app (A)

2.) Join on the Web instead (B); or

3.) Open in the Teams app if you have previously downloaded it before (C) 

 

If you choose to Join on the Web, you will then see a screen which will request access to the microphone and camera on your computer. Select allow.

How to Call Into a Virtual Teams Meeting

If you’re unable to use the Teams app or Teams on the web, you can join some meetings by calling a phone number. If there’s a phone number and conference ID in the meeting invite, just dial the number to join.

The number in your invitation may not be local to you. Select Find a local number to get one that is.

 

How to Access the Teams App

To get the best of Teams meetings on mobile, including audio, video, and content sharing, you’ll need to download and install the Teams mobile app. This app is available for download on both Apple iOS and Android.

 

TIP: If you would like to use the app, we recommend downloading the app before your meeting starts. It may take a few minutes to set up, depending on your internet connection.
