Teams

What is Microsoft Teams?

Microsoft Teams is Microsoft's new enterprise communication tool. Teams combines persistent chat rooms, video/voice, file sharing, meetings, and many other features into one application. Teams is beneficial for meetings, class sessions, and remote communications. We recommend using it for any conversational or video conferencing application.

Microsoft Teams is now available for the WSSU community.  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. Microsoft Teams has also proven to be a great tool in practicing social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
