Use of Microsoft Teams / Microsoft 365

Problem

  • Can I use Microsoft Teams at Miami University? 
  • How do I join a third-party hosted Microsoft Teams meeting?
  • What are the recommended conferencing and collaboration tools that Miami uses?

Rationale

  • Miami University does not license Microsoft Teams
  • Microsoft Teams is not enabled at Miami University

Resolution

  • Miami University recommends and supports the use of Cisco Webex or Zoom
  • Users will not be able to sign in to Microsoft Teams with Miami University credentials
    • Miami University users can be added to another organization's Teams as a guest
      • Provide the third party organization your email address in the format of UniqueID@miamioh.edu, e.g.,  publicjq@miamioh.edu
        • Only current faculty, staff, or students
      • Normally an email will be generated with the subject "You have been added as a guest to Org Name in Microsoft Teams" by the 3rd party organization and will include additional instructions
  • Join a meeting without a Teams account
