Classes in MS Teams (basic usage)

As part of Office 365, offered by SU, the application MS Teams can be used for online courses. The application is compatible with OS Windows and macOS or can be run in web browsers MS Edge/Google Chrome. Other browsers are not fully compatible, as they don’t allow the use of audio/video courses.

As part of the license, every user of Microsoft 365 can create a team. The creator of the team is set automatically as an owner (teacher), which controls the setting and access of other users. He can give another user owner rights.

For full functionality, as stated above, we recommend the installation of a local client. The installation file is available at this link

After installation of the application, log in with your username in the form of „your_CRO_username@ad.slu.cz“ (for example xyz9876@ad.slu.cz). Password is the same as in CRO (mail, ISSU).

It is also possible to use the mobile app Teams for Android and iOS.

If you don’t use a notebook with integrated cam and mic, you’ll need to connect external. Most webcams comes with integrated mics.

Stable internet connection is required for use of video courses.

As stated above, you’ll need to login into the desktop or mobile app in first place.
