Teams Accessibility Resources
Here are two resources about using accessibility features in Teams.
Meetings
Meetings in Teams include audio, video, and screen sharing. They're one of the key ways to collaborate in Teams. And you don’t need to be a member of an organization (or even have a Teams account!)
Files
Files are the documents that can be downloaded, edited, and shared with teammates.
Apps and Services
Apps let you do more in Teams. Think about the tools, files, and dashboards your org already uses. Many of them can be added right into Teams. Find new applications by going to Apps.
Note: If you have an account with a third-party app that you add to a Team, others on the
Team will need an account with the third-party app to be able to use it.
Teams Training Videos:
Introductory training for Teams can be found in LinkedIn Learning, Microsoft, and Learning Curve.
