This is the transcript of the "Accessing Teams" video.
Speaker 1:
In this video, we'll have a look at how you can access Microsoft Teams in the New South Wales Department of Education. There are two ways that you can access and engage with Microsoft Teams. The first is through the DoE portal for the web version of Teams, and the second is to use the MS Teams desktop app. There are minor differences between the desktop app and web interfaces. Using the web version allows you to easily access your Teams space from any device, whereas depending on your internet speeds, the desktop app may provide a slightly more streamlined and quicker experience.
To access Teams via the web, open your browser of choice and log in to the DoE staff portal. If you've added the Microsoft 365 to your essential page, then click the icon. If you've not yet added the Microsoft 365 icon, click on profile centre, then application store, followed by my learning tools across the top. Locate the Microsoft 365 icon and click add. Once added, you can select launch. This will bring you to the Microsoft 365 home page. Locate the Teams icon on the left menu and click to launch. To access Teams from the desktop app, type in Teams into the search bar and see if it's installed on your device. If it's not, then you'll need to download the app from the web.
If you're on a department device, you can instal Teams yourself without requiring an administrator login. Open up your browser of choice. And in the search bar, type aka.ms/getteams. When you press enter, you'll be taken to this Microsoft download website. Click the download app for desktop button. This will then take you to where you can click download on the latest version of Microsoft Teams for your device. Choose Teams for work or school. If you're using an iPad, Teams is available on the App store as well.
