Accessing Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is a hub for teamwork in Office 365. It is commonly used to share files, edit documents with teammates in real time, chat and message individuals as well as with groups, and view directory information for Temple users.
Every Temple member has an Office 365 account, which includes access to Microsoft Teams. Use your existing Temple AccessNet username and password to log in to Teams. Since Microsoft Teams is linked directly to your AccessNet account, your directory information and free/busy status is automatically pulled into Teams.
Important: Microsoft Teams is available on Windows, Mac, Web, iOS Devices, and Android Devices. Your chats and files will synchronize in real time across any device that you use with Microsoft Teams.
Please visit the Microsoft Teams - Getting Started page created by Temple University Information Technology Services for some general information and quick start guides.
