Teams Desktop, Web, and Mobile

With Microsoft Teams on your PC, Mac, or mobile device, you can:

• Pull together a team.
• Use chat instead of email.
• Securely edit files at the same time.
• See likes, @mentions, and replies with just a single tap.
• Customize it by adding notes, web sites, and apps.

Sign-in and Setup

To get started using Teams you first need to sign in. The Teams desktop application requires VPN, but the web and mobile applications do not.

In addition to the desktop client, Microsoft Teams can be used on a mobile device (e.g. iOS and Android devices). Learn more about using Teams Mobile.

NOTE: Prior to using Teams for mobile devices, you will need to Enroll Your Mobile Device in Intune Company Portal.

Teams and Channels

A team is a group of people gathered to get something big done in your organization. Sometimes it’s your whole organization.

Teams are made up of channels, which are the conversations you have with your teammates. Each channel is dedicated to a specific topic, department, or project. Learn more about Teams and Channels.
