Microsoft teams

Has anyone used Microsoft teams? Of course they are using a platform I haven't tried yet. I've downloaded it and am hoping i don't have to say appologetically, "I'm sorry, technology is being fun today." Also has anyone called into a conference number and used an Id? Do I just hope it works with the keypad and voice over? Thanks for any help.

Microsoft Teams is accessible on Windows, iOS and Android, so I would think there's a good chance of it being so, or at least mostly so, on Mac. If not, there is the ability to join meetings in the browser, and maybe that will work if the app doesn't.

As for dialing in, it depends, but if the dial in number is formatted correctly iOS will dial the conference and ID info all in one go. If it isn't, you'll have to read off the ID in one ear and type it in manually. I would say you might as well use the iOS app at that point, but to each their own.

Good luck!

From what I can tell, it is accessible on the Mac. I'll have to type it in manually oh wait, no I can use the email. I'll need the computer to do testing. Thanks again I hope this works.

Yes, teams is accessible on Mac. It's rather clunky though - a lot of interacting and pressing of buttons required. But it's useable.
as far as joining a conference, use the link supplied in the email. That should get you in.
Hope this helps!

Hello. This app works fine on all my devices I use. You can also use it on any browser as well, which is also nice.

Hey,
Yep it definitely is a little clunky but I've found the following:
COMMAND+1, 2, 3, 4, etc move you to the different sections, so COMMAND+1 is activity, COMMAND+2 is chat, etc.
COMMAND+E puts you in the search, you can type statuses by starting each command with a /. So /away or /offline or /busy
In Chats, you need to SHIFT TAB up through the conversations and press ENTER to put in reactions.
When you're in a call/meeting you can use COMMAND+SHIFT+B to hang up, COMMAND+SHIFT+A to ansewer and there's quite a few other keyboard commands. COMMAND . (that's COMMAND+FULL STOP/ or PERIOD dpending on what part of the world you live in is the list of keyboard commands you can use in Teams.
Hope this helps a bit.
