Microsoft Teams training

Microsoft Teams is a collaboration platform that brings together chat, meetings, calling, and file sharing into a single, integrated app. As a University of Worcester student or staff member, you can use Teams to stay connected with your colleagues and classmates, no matter where you are located.

With Teams, you can chat and collaborate in real-time, create channels for different topics or projects, host online meetings with audio, video, and screen sharing, and access all of your files and apps in one place. Teams is fully integrated with other Microsoft 365 apps, making it easy to work together seamlessly.
