How to set up and join a Microsoft Teams Meeting
(Images source – Office.com) In addition to the above, you can join from within a conversation. For instance, if you’re working under a different channel and you find that your messages aren’t displaying, you can choose to join a meeting from a notification that appears in the upper right corner of your Desktop screen. You’ll see a notification that you’ve been invited to a meeting. You can then join directly from there. Read: How to add Zoom to Microsoft Teams.
Schedule a Teams Meet
For scheduling a meeting, look for the Meetings button. Clicking on it will let Microsoft Teams list all your currently scheduled meetings. Simply click “Schedule Meeting” to set a time for the meeting.
Now, while conducting a meeting, if you would like to share your Desktop screen, simply click the ‘Screen’ icon. The icon allows users to share their screens. It is by far, the most convenient method to see what someone is presenting. To share your screen in a meeting or view someone else’s screen, just click on the icon and you are good to go.
A special feature of Microsoft Teams is that when you whenever you click away from a meeting, a call monitor will appear. It will allow you to join back the meeting in an instant when you click on it.
