What is Microsoft Teams?
Microsoft Teams is a collaboration app that helps you and your team/project stay organized and have conversations and meetings — all in one place. It integrates with other Microsoft 365 tools like OneDrive, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Teams is available to all CUNY students (sign in using your CUNY Login).
Watch Microsoft’s Welcome to Teams video for a basic introduction to Teams.
Installing Teams
Teams can be used on the web at https://teams.microsoft.com or you can download Teams for your desktop, iOS, or Android. (If you plan to use Teams frequently, it’s better to use the desktop app.)
