With Teams you can:
- chat with people in your various teams, with or without video
- arrange video meetings, for example when there is not enough meeting rooms available, when there is no need to physically meet, or when one or more of the meeting participants is in a different municipality, county or country
- share your desktop, to give remote assistance or to share meeting papers during a meeting
- share files and co-create and collaborate
- invite external partners
Teams is available for students, employees and external users.
External users are invited via their email address, or via username@institution.no if they also have Office 365.
