Resources from Microsoft
- Quick Guide: Microsoft has created a guide that has detailed descriptions of the Teams interface. While it focuses on meetings (meeting options, attending a meeting, and meeting settings) it also covers assignments, grades and OneNote.
- Teams Help Menu: Most of us are familiar with the traditional help menu in Microsoft, where you can search for key terms or features. With Teams, Microsoft has provided some additional options to provide assistance and insight into Teams. The Teams Help Menu can be found on the bottom of the left navigation within Teams.
- Topics: The traditional help menu where you can search for your specified topic
- Training: Browse through several short videos (around 2 minutes each)
- What's New: Stay on top of the recent changes that have been made to Teams. Whether it is an added feature or an enhancement to a current feature.
- Suggest a Feature: The Microsoft User Voice allows you to provide suggestions on features and functionality. You can create new suggestions or search for ones that have already been made and vote on them. The more votes received, the higher it will be in the priority list for Microsoft.
- Report a Problem: If Teams isn't working, you can open a ticket with Microsoft to report the issue
- Microsoft Support Site: You can also go straight to the source and search on the Microsoft Support portal
