This week on Thursday, September 30, we’re rolling out Microsoft Teams, the collaboration app that helps your team stay connected and organized, even when working remotely! Wherever you are, Teams makes it easy to converse with coworkers, host meetings, share files and collaborate on documents. We’re confident you’ll love working in Teams. This is a new tool, in addition to our existing tools like Voalte and Webex.
What is the difference between Voalte, Microsoft Teams and the Webex App?
Understandably, there have been some questions about which communication tool to use at TriHealth. The below matrix provides a platform comparison.
With Teams, collaborate in one place no matter where you are
1. Sign into Microsoft Teams
Go to START Menu and click on Microsoft Teams to get started!
2. Get started
Watch our quick-start video to get up and running with Microsoft Teams. Learn how to start or join a channel, chat one-on-one, collaborate as a group, and start a meeting.
3. Collaborate from anywhere
Meet or start a chat from anywhere or take the stress out of conference calls with Teams calling, Phone System, Calling Plans, or Direct Routing. Share a document for quick feedback, and spice it up with gifs, stickers, and emojis.
