Introducing Microsoft Teams

Effective Date: August 12, 2020

Microsoft Teams is a new platform that we will be installing on all Wheaton College computers beginning August 12, 2020.  Microsoft Teams is the upgrade and replacement for Microsoft Skype for Business, which will reach its end of support in the near future. Microsoft Teams will be available to all faculty and staff.  In addition, students will also be able to access Microsoft Teams to which they are invited using their @my.wheaton.edu email address.

If you have reoccurring meetings using Skype for Business, the AIT Service Desk can help you adjust the calendar events to use Microsoft Teams instead.

More information is below and will be included in future Campus Announcements.
