What to expect

• The email addresses entered as Attendees will receive a calendar invite with a link to the online meeting. Students in a course-connected Class Team will receive a calendar invite whether they were invited in the meeting attendees or not.
• Participants are encouraged to have Microsoft Teams installed.
  • The installer can be found at https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads. 
  • The Teams app is available on mobile for Android or iOS devices.
  • The Teams app is recommended, though participants can join from a web browser on Windows or Mac using Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome. 
• If the guest participant installs the Teams app from the link in the meeting invite, they will not need to create a Microsoft account and will be able to enter their name and join the meeting. 
• If users are not members of the team in which the channel meeting was scheduled, they will not be able to access chat.
• Attendees joining the meeting using a non-Wooster email will be placed in the Lobby until a Wooster participant lets them into the meeting, unless the meeting organizer modifies the meeting options to allow Guests to Bypass the Lobby.
