A message from Professor Andrew O’Neil
News 28 MayAn update from the Executive Dean of Law and Business Professor Andrew O'Neil.
We know transitioning to a new collaborative tool such as Microsoft Teams can be daunting. Training and training materials are on their way but in the meantime, we wanted to highlight how to perform some of the common Skype for Business tasks in Microsoft Teams. We’re in the process of upgrading Microsoft Teams and will soon be migrating ACU Skype for Business users into Microsoft Teams, so now is a great time to practice using it.

From the dropdown box, choose a new status from the standard options by clicking the arrow to the right of your current status, or click Set Status Message to type something yourself like 'back from lunch at 2pm'.
There are a few ways to make a call in Teams.
The easiest way is to search for them in the search bar at the top of the application, then click the phone icon in the top right.
Both Teams and Skype meetings are created the same way from Outlook using the relevant option in the ribbon.
