How to use Microsoft Teams on an Iphone.
To begin using Microsoft Teams, first download the Microsoft Teams App from the App Store,
and sign in using your account.
At the bottom of the App,
you'll see a menu with various tabs to access all of the features that Microsoft Teams offers.
The first tab is the "Activity" tab.
This is a news feed of all your notifications and alerts that you have on Microsoft Teams.
You can filter this feed to only see your own activity
by selecting the drop down beside "Feed" at the top of the screen,
and selecting "My Activity".
The next tab is the "Chat" tab.
Here you can have conversations with individuals in your team.
To create a new chat, select the "New Post" icon in the top right corner.
Then enter the name of the person you would like to message.
To add a message, begin typing your message in the message field, and click "Send".
In the top right corner of your chat, you will also see a "Video" icon and a "Phone" icon.
These allow you to make video or voice calls with the people in your chat.
The next and most important tab is the "Teams" tab.
You can have multiple teams created in Microsoft Teams and this could be divided by
departments, sub-departments, distribution lists, projects, and more.
To create a new team, select the "User" icon with the "+" in the top right corner.
Then select "Create a Team".
To begin creating your team, enter your team name,
a quick description, and set your privacy settings.
By setting it as Private, only the team owner can add members,
by setting it as Public, anyone in your organization can discover and join your team.
If you don't want anyone discovering your team, unselect the "Discoverable" toggle.
Once all of your settings are complete, click "Done".
You can then add members by entering their name or email address,
and once all of your members are entered, click "Done".
Your team has now been created
and Microsoft Teams has automatically generated a "General" channel.
This houses all of your conversations and content for your team.
If you want to create sub-topics for your team so that its content can be further divided,
you can create additional channels by selecting the three dots beside your team name,
and selecting "Manage Channels".
To create a new channel, select the "+" in the top right corner.
Then enter your channel name, add a quick description, and set your privacy settings.
Your privacy can be set to Standard,
which makes the channel accessible to everyone on your team,
or Private, which makes it accessible to a specific group of people.
Once your details are made, click "Done" to create your channel.
Under each channel is a "Posts" tab.
This allows team members to share messages with each other.
To create a new post, select "New Post" at the bottom of your screen.
You can begin your post by typing your message.
Just below the message field, you will see various icons which you can use
to customize your post.
By selecting the "Image" icon, you can add images
either by creating a new one with your camera,
or selecting a pre-existing one from your camera roll.
By selecting "GIF" you can access Microsoft Teams' GIF library.
You can add attachments by clicking the "Attachment" icon,
tag other team members using the "@" button,
and if you want to access further formatting options, you can select the "A" button.
When you're ready to send your post, click the "Send" button in the bottom right corner.
If a post has important information in it
and you want to save it to easily access at a later date,
you can select the three dots on the right side of the post, and click "Save".
You'll see that the post has been saved when a bookmark appears on the right side of the post.
Under your channel, you can also select "Files",
and this displays any files that have been shared in your channel.
To add a new file, simply click the "Add" button at the bottom of your screen.
If you ever need to edit the details of your teams or channels,
select the three dots beside the team name.
Here you'll be presented with options to manage members, which includes adding or deleting members,
managing tags, managing your channels, you can leave your team as an individual,
edit your team details, or delete the team completely.
The next tab is the "Calls" tab.
"Calls" allows you to make video or voice calls through Microsoft Teams.
It will also display any calls that you've made or received.
To start a new call, click the "Phone" icon in the top right corner.
Then enter the individuals you would like to call,
and click the "Phone" icon on the right side.
Finally, under the "More" tab, you have further options for Microsoft Teams.
You can select "Files" to view all the files that have been shared in Microsoft Teams,
as well as access to your OneDrive cloud storage.
By selecting "Camera", you can use your phone's camera to take photos
and instantly share them on Microsoft Teams.
You can also select "Saved",
and this is where you can access all of your saved posts for quick referencing.
The last area of Microsoft Teams to note, is your availability settings.
To set your availability you can go to the "Menu" icon in the top left corner of the app.
As you can see, we are currently set to "Available".
By clicking your availability, you'll be presented with other options.
You can set your availability to Available, Busy if you're in a meeting or appointment,
Do Not Disturb if you're deep in work, Away, or Be Right Back.
You can reset your status by clicking "Reset Status".
And that is how to use Microsoft Teams on an Iphone!
