Microsoft Teams

MIGRATING FROM SKYPE TO TEAMS:

On May 9, UFIT will sunset the Skype for Business service. To help campus with the migration, we created End-User and IT Staff preparation docs.

The PDFs include details and screen captures on what to expect after accounts are migrated. For a comparison of Teams and Skype's features, please refer to Microsoft’s Teams from Skype for Business page.

What is Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams provides a real-time “workspace” for collaboration and communication. With Microsoft Teams you can have online meetings, chat, share files and applications, and store docs all without having to go through a complicated set-up process. Microsoft Teams allows you to keep everything related to a service, project, event, or initiative in one place, with easy availability for anyone who needs access.
