What is Microsoft Teams:

Microsoft Teams is the hub for teamwork, where people - including people outside the WSSU organization - can actively connect, communicate and collaborate in real time to complete daily tasks. Users can have a conversation as they work, whether they are or having a meeting, editing documents, or working together in other apps and services. Microsoft Teams gives users a place to have informal chats, iterate quickly on a project, work with team files, and collaborate on shared deliverables.

Faculty, Staff and Students can use Teams to:

Chat one-on-one with other users, or in small groups
Organize your team’s work, files and key resources using private channels in your Team
Make audio or video calls with other users
Facilitate and record audio/video meetings with other users
Access other Office 365 apps including Word, Excel, OneDrive, OneNote, and Planner
Invite external (guest) users to be part of your Team
Easily search chats, files and conversations as well as people
WSSU faculty, staff and students are licensed for Teams, making it easier call, chat, add people to a team or search individuals on a team. As well as connect with anyone on campus!
