Introduction:

  • Seamless Video Calls: MS Teams will be our main platform for all video meetings, making it easier to connect with colleagues and clients.
  • Improved Communication: We’re moving away from 3CX chat and will use MS Teams as our primary instant messaging tool for internal communication. This will help streamline conversations and keep everything in one place.
  • Increased Efficiency: Teams integrates with other Microsoft 365 apps, so you’ll have everything you need to collaborate and stay organized within a single platform.

If for any reason MS Teams isn’t installed on your device yet, or you can’t find it, please submit an IT ticket to resolve the issue.

If you want to install MS Teams on your personal / home office compute please check this Helpdoc:

In the Boardrooms please use web based MS Teams on www.teams.office.com or shortcut on the desktop called "TEAMS - web".
