Learn to join, schedule and participate in an online meeting and join on time with appropriate privacy settings in this beginner-friendly Microsoft 365 lesson.
Before you begin
Use an approved training team, chat or meeting. Ask permission before recording, transcribing or sharing someone else's screen.
Step-by-step instructions
- Open Microsoft Teams on the web or desktop and confirm you are using the intended account.
- Test audio, camera, captions and meeting controls.
- Pause and check permissions, filenames, recipients, dates or settings that affect the task.
- Test the result: join on time with appropriate privacy settings.
- Confirm who can see the conversation, file or meeting item and remove any test content that should not remain.
