How to Get in to Teams:

  1. Go to Office 365 (Click here for instructions if you are unsure of how to do this)
  2. Click on Teams

If a teacher has sent you a link to join an meeting:

  1. Click on the link.
  2. You are going to be given the choice to open it online or in the app. If you have the app, it is a better choice but if not the online one should work fine.
