Preparing for the course

Instructions for the session - 5 point checklist

1. Familiarise yourself with Microsoft Teams

We will be using Microsoft Teams for the online workshop, which is a bit like Zoom.

• To access Teams, all you need is a web browser but if you have the Teams app on your desktop, laptop, or iPad then you'll also be able to use this.
• A Microsoft account (Teams) is required to login to the online workshop but if you don't have an account, it's easy to sign up for a free account.

To help you get started, there is some useful guidance and videos introducing Microsoft Teams.

3. Please enter your full name if joining as a guest

• On the day, if joining as a guest, please enter your full name when prompted so we can keep an accurate register of attendees.
• You'll then have wait in a 'lobby' until the presenter invites you to enter the virtual room. This usually happens about 15 minutes before the event starts.

If you have already have a Teams account then your name will already be registered.

5. Try to log in on time

The webinar will start exactly at the specified time so if you don't wish to miss anything then please try to log in up to 15 minutes before the event to make sure everything works.
