CHAPTER 1
Getting Started with Teams
Communicating, collaborating, and meeting in Microsoft Teams represents a paradigm shift from having to bounce between multiple apps to get work done and attaching files that quickly become outdated to email threads that find themselves almost unreadably ugly and complex as they branch off into side conversations. Teams is a new way to do work. Getting started in Teams is easy. Just make sure to have your work or school account email address and password. Some actions in this chapter may require an IT admin to perform, so don’t sweat it if you can’t do it yourself.

Log into Teams
Almost anything you want to do in Teams you can do through the browser version of Teams (known as the web app). There are some upsides to using the web app: It’s quicker and uses less memory on your computer; you can have multiple Teams, files, and guest accounts open at once; and you can log into it from pretty much any computer, which is helpful when you’re on the go. That said, there are key features you will not get in the web app, especially during online meetings. The desktop app is generally a better, more full experience. However, when you need it, the web app is there for you.
The Teams desktop app provides the richest experience of all the options when it comes to using Teams. You’ll get all the features in your online meetings, native notifications in Windows and macOS, as well as some other key benefits. That said, and to be candid, the Teams desktop app can be a resource hog. If you find that your computer is overheating or slowing down, try closing the Teams app and using the web app instead. Otherwise, enjoy everything that comes with the desktop app. If you do not have the app installed, see the next section, “Install the Desktop App.”
One of the best aspects of Teams is the ability to hop between the desktop and mobile version with ease. Most of the features you use regularly on the desktop are available in some way on your favorite iOS, iPadOS, and Android devices. Bring chat, files, teams, meetings, and more on the go with the full-featured mobile app. In this section, we are using iOS as the example, but the setup should be similar on iPadOS and Android.
