Using Microsoft Teams for Communication

Online Meeting Tips

  • Test your setup ahead of time if new to MS Teams -- contact Library IT if you need help
  • Mute your microphone when not talking
  • Remember to unmute when you want to speak
  • Choose “Show Conversation" to turn on chat so you can follow and add comments while listening/speaking
  • Choose "Blur my background" if that makes you more comfortable using video from home
  • Remember to turn your camera off if you do not want to appear to others while meeting
