Working Remotely: Microsoft Teams

Teams lets you quickly pull together a team with people inside and outside your organization, chat with others to drive fast and inclusive conversations, securely share and co-author documents and consult on projects.

MS Teams Backgrounds

MS Teams allows you to change your virtual background once you join a Teams meeting. You may blur your background  or replace it entirely with a Southwest Tennessee Community College Approved Image. 
NOTE: 

It is encouraged that everyone sign into Microsoft Teams daily and see the benefits it provides. Giving feedback is also encouraged to ensure that Microsoft Teams is used in the most effective way possible.

NOTE: Microsoft Teams is currently capable of running along side Skype for Business, although usage of Teams will be preferred going forward.
