MS Teams
Information on using Microsoft Teams
Teams is available to all registered University of Aberdeen staff and students. External sharing is also possible, allowing you to invite external colleagues (i.e. non ‘abdn’ domain) to be Guests.
A unified communication and collaboration platform, Teams combines workplace messaging, video/audio meetings, telephone calls and voicemail, file sharing and storage, and app integration. And integration with Office 365 applications allows collaboration in real time.
Teams is on all University managed staff devices. On personal devices, access via any Office 365 app; or download from Microsoft. On mobiles, download from your app store.
*Important - remember that meeting recordings expire after 60 days by default. If you are the owner you can change this setting. See MS Teams Recording Meetings in the Guides section.
