Microsoft Teams is an easy-to-use meeting platform that integrates well with many other Microsoft applications you may already use. The Teams app allows you quick access to your OneDrive, OneNote, Calendar, Word, and other Microsoft apps. 

It is a convenient communication tool that works on computers and mobile devices. Your instructors will be using Teams to connect with you online.

Instructors may choose to use Teams for:

• Live class lectures online in place of meeting on campus
• Meeting with you 1-on-1 during their office hours 
• Essay, homework, or exam review with you or with a group of students 

Your course instructor will share a Teams link with you within your Blackboard course site or through CCAC email. 

Teams works on desktop computers, laptops, tablets, mobile phones, and other devices. Depending on what device you use to participate in Teams sessions, you will need speakers and a microphone, or earphones or headphones with a microphone.
