Urgent - MS Teams replacing Skype for Business on 7/30
As you read in the July 6 Daily Tribune, effective July 30 Microsoft will no longer offer Skype For Business and the replacement product is Microsoft Teams. Skype For Business is used for instant messaging.
Please start using Microsoft Teams for instant messaging/chat and collaboration effective immediately.
Installation information (see attached Starting with Teams document for step by step instructions):
- For MCC devices, Microsoft Teams can be installed via the Software Center, which can be accessed from the Start Menu.
- For personal devices, Microsoft Teams can be downloaded and installed from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/download-app or from your device’s app store.
Important! When connecting to Microsoft Teams, you will be directed to the college’s Single Sign-On (SSO) platform to enter your MCC Network Account credentials for authentication. If prompted, select the option to connect using a School/Work account. See July 6 Daily Tribune for more resources.
For assistance with Microsoft Teams, please contact the Employee Technology Help Desk at 292-TECH (8324), option 3, or by submitting a Technology Request via myMCC.
