Teams is a college-supported platform for connecting synchronously with students and other staff members.

You do not need to request that a Team be created in order to use the Teams app for communication and collaboration with students and colleagues. Detailed documentation for teaching with Teams is available here: https://techdocs.blogs.brynmawr.edu/8297

Getting Started

• Getting Started: What is Microsoft Teams
• Access Teams on your browser
• Download the Desktop Client
• Scheduling and Joining meetings

Further Information

• Microsoft Extensive Step-by-Step Video training
• Sharing a whiteboard
• Switching from Skype for Business to Teams

Please note:

• Microsoft is currently transitioning Skype for Business functionality to Teams. Teams will fully replace Skype for Business on July 31, 2021.
• There are specific reasons why community members can’t create Teams (Teams are created at the Systems level for our entire community). When someone creates a Team, they’re automatically creating an email address @brynmawr.edu. If anyone were able to create a team, and create any kind of email address, that would conflict with BMC policy.
