How can I access Microsoft Teams?
You can access Teams via the web interface by visiting portal.office.com or you can download the full Teams desktop client by visiting https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads in most cases you’ll want the desktop client, as it offers better Audio/Video quality compared to the web interface.
Please note, if you are using the Remote Desktop system (staff), you will not be able to use audio/video in Teams. Instead you should log onto Teams through your browser on your computer before accessing the Remote Desktop system, at the same time, check your speakers and microphone are working properly on your laptop.
