Teams is a component of the Office 365 suite, allowing unified communications among MSU Denver employees. In addition to supporting our VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) telephone infrastructure, Teams offers 1:1 and group instant messaging/chat, video conferencing, and screen sharing. Teams integrates with Microsoft Outlook, providing presence information and allowing a seamless transition between multiple communication mediums.
Who can use Teams?
Students, Faculty, and Staff.
How do I request access to Teams?
Everyone can use Teams to join meetings, send instant messages and call other Teams uses within MSU Denver by default.
