You can join a Microsoft Teams meeting in a variety of ways:
All you need to join a Teams meeting is a link. When you’re invited to a meeting you will receive an email that contains the link to join.
Select ‘Click here to join the meeting’ in your meeting invite to be taken to a page where you can choose to either join on the web or download the desktop app. If you already have the Teams app, the meeting will open there automatically.
If prompted select ‘Sign in’ and then enter your University of Worcester credentials to join with access to the meeting chat and more. Then, depending on the organiser’s settings, you may join the meeting right away or go to the lobby where people in the meeting can admit you.
If someone starts the meeting first, you should receive a pop up notification that you can use to join the meeting.
If a meeting takes place in a channel, you’ll see an invitation to join, relevant content, and who’s in the meeting right in the channel. Just select ‘Join’.
If the meeting has already begun, it appears in your recent chat list.
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.
