Invite everyone you work with to chat, meet, call, and collaborate all in one place, no matter where you are.

Microsoft Teams is your online hub for teamwork, online meetings, or chat. It is an app that helps you and your team have real-time conversations using chat or video chat, securely share and collaborate on files, and plan meetings or projects with others at MSU-Northern or with guest collaborators.

Note: Do not use Microsoft Teams, or any other video conferencing system, for audio/video calls through a remote computer (e.g., Remote Desktop) as you may experience audio and/or video issues.
