Overview
Microsoft Teams is an application available to SPU faculty, staff, and students. Teams is designed specifically for workplace communication and collaboration, bringing together functions such as Chat, Meeting Organization, Group Collaboration, Video Meetings, File and Desktop Sharing, as well as Session Recording all into a single user interface. For added privacy, users can blur their background or select a custom background in video meetings; click here for instructions. You can find SPU-approved and branded backgrounds here.
To get started with Teams, you will first need to have the application installed on your SPU-provided computer. Once it is installed and you are signed on, you will have access to all of the available features in Teams.
