Teams provides a chat space for colleagues to share and discuss ideas both through threaded chats and integrated video and voice conversations via Skype. Working alongside other Office 365 applications, Teams can bring in documents or projects from other applications to be viewed and discussed.
Teams acts as a central communication hub for Penn State staff and students. It can be used for chatting, both one on one and group chats, sharing files, and simple screen sharing. Teams is installed on every Athletics-issued device. If you are using a personally owned computer, you may download Teams and install it. It can be found here. It is also available for all cell phones through the device’s app store.
Once logged into Teams using your PSU email address, Intercollegiate Athletics houses a department-wide Team for all to use called ICA-ALL. All staff have access to this channel and can utilize it as they wish. Each department has its own private channel for its own staff and can be used in any way the department wishes.
A quick user’s guide for how to use Teams can be found here.
