If you haven’t yet checked out Microsoft Teams, you probably want to. Last year Microsoft announced that they will retire support for Skype for Business come July 2021. While SMU won’t be pulling the plug on Skype for Business service immediately, there will come a time that embracing Teams will be a must.
For those of you who have never logged into Teams, you can log in and peruse by visiting smu.edu/teams. The training team even has a sandbox that you can play in. All you have to do is shoot an email to ittraining@smu.edu, and we will add you to the sandbox site. You might also want to check out the Microsoft Teams Essential Training by LinkedIn Learning.
