Overview
Microsoft Teams is an easy way to pull together a group to share, collaborate and communicate in one central location without the use of phone calls that take time away from our day or emails that can easily get buried. From directly within Teams we can bring everyone together to share information, securely edit files live and at the same time, bring together Microsoft Office 365 apps (OneDrive, OneNote, Planner, Forms, etc) and third-party apps and websites in one place, tag members of the team in conversations or actions and customize the work through adding notes (OneNote and others) and other applications.
The Office of Information Technology recommends using the most up-to-date version of Teams for all Teams activities. Even though the Teams Desktop application will update itself, sometimes you might find that it is slow to update. Here is how you force Teams to check for, and apply updates.
Check Version and Updates
To find out what version of Teams you're on and ensure you have all the latest features and improvements, regularly check for updates and install them.
