Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is becoming an integral service at my workplace. Using this page to assemble some of the resources I am finding and using.

  • Microsoft Teams video training
    • Surprisingly well done. The “Shifts” app looked intriguing, but does not seem to install on the Mac client. Using Teams in a web browsers appears to work around this issue.
  • Quick Start Guide
    • PDF cheat sheet. Provides names for parts of the interface (such as the “command box”). Other quick start guides for Microsoft products can be found here.
  • Surface Hub
    • Not cheap, but could be a good way to create a movable collaborative device (huddle space).
  • Teams Help
    • Front end to generic help.
  • Microsoft Teams admin documentation
    • The good stuff…

Random Observations

  • macOS version of Teams does not work with virtual cameras (such as mmhmm), which is a bit of a pain.
  • Teams meeting video does not compare vey well to Zoom.
  • Limits and specifications for Microsoft Teams are listed here. Useful resource.
  • I struggled for a while to make some files “read-only” for some members. This guide was helpful.
