Microsoft Teams is ranked among the market's top virtual
meeting platforms and with Skype for Business retiring in 2021, its user base
has expanded even further. Another advantage of Microsoft Teams is their direct
integration with Office 365, which means it is pre-included with the Office 365
license from your business. You can hold a meeting at a single time with up to
250 members or you can even show up to 10,000 viewers in real time.
Here's how you can set up your account, build a team and
host a meeting on Windows 10 for Microsoft Teams.
Setting Up Microsoft Teams on Your
PC
1.
Open the Start menu in the search
bar, and select Microsoft teams. To continue press the Microsoft Teams button.
If you don't have it built on your PC, you can download Microsoft Teams for
free from here.
2.
Enter the email you used to sign up
on Microsoft Teams with your Microsoft account, and press Sign in.
3.
Enter your Microsoft account email
address, and click Re-enter.
4.
The program will start setting up
Microsoft Teams on your Windows 10 PC, and will soon sign in.
5.
Enter your company name and then
click Continue.
6.
You can now sign in by Microsoft
Teams by switching to your team account.
Creating a Team in Microsoft Teams
1.
Microsoft Teams will welcome you
through a streamlined interface. To shape a new team, press Build a Team.
2.
Select Creating a team from scratch
to start or if you already have a working group aligned with Office 365 then
you can choose the second Construct choice from ... to begin.
3.
You can create a Private Team that
needs your approval to add certain team members, a Public Team that allows
everyone in your company to participate, or an Org-wide Team that simply allows
anyone in your company to automatically join in. Select any mode to continue.
4.
Add a Team name and summary
according to your specifications and press Build to complete the project.
5.
Now it will prompt you to add new
members to your squad, just type in your colleague's email address that is
affiliated with Microsoft Teams and click on Add.
6.
After your teammate has been
attached, press Close to exit the browser.
7.
Once your invitation has been
redeemed from their end, you can see the notification that they have been added
to the team.
Setting up a meeting on Microsoft
Teams:
1.
To show their profile and facilitate
a one-on-one meeting you can click on your newly added colleague's name. You
can talk with them over video, audio and email. But if you want to hold a group
meeting and want all of your team to participate, just click on the camcorder
icon at the bottom with the highlights.
2.
Now you can add the theme or name of
the meeting you are hosting to. Click the Meet button now, when you are ready
to start.
3.
The meeting will start immediately
but from the menu in the middle you can choose to turn on / off your webcam and
microphone. Pick the message bubble and the people icons, respectively, to
display the chat box and participants.
4.
Whereas, on the other hand, members
of your team can see in the menu Teams that you have started a new meeting. All
they need to do is press the Enter button to connect to the meeting.
5.
In the Participants menu you can now
show the status of how many of your colleagues have entered the group.
6.
Your teammates do not provide a
notice, however, until the manager holds a team meeting. While in many social
media sites such as Instagram and Facebook it is a regular feature as users are
told about live sessions, Microsoft Teams still haven't made it. By accessing
the Show Participants screen, you can manually invite a team member, click on
the tri-dot menu as you hover the cursor above the member's name, and choose
Ask to Enter.
7.
It will basically call the team
member and they'll be added to the meeting as soon as they answer the request.
Only with every passing iteration does Microsoft Teams on
Windows 10 continue to expand and, particularly in light of recent events, it
is considered one of the world's most robust online meeting platforms. From
home video calls let us know which device you prefer for your job.
