- Click on Teams
If a teacher has sent you a link to join an meeting:
- Click on the link.
- 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.
- This should put you in the meeting. Make sure that your microphone is not muted if you wish to speak.
