**Teams may be pre-installed on your computer, but It often is the home/small business edition (which won’t work with your CREW login)
PC/Mac Installation (here’s instructions for a smartphone)
Open any web browser and go to teams.microsoft.com
If it’s your first-time using Teams, you will be asked to sign in.
3. Enter the username that was assigned to you, which should be “first name”.”last name” @cuyunalakesmtb.com (example for John Doe it would be john.doe@cuyunalakesmtb.com).
4. Enter the password that was assigned to you.
5. If you haven’t logged in before, you will be prompted to create a new password.
6. Multifactor Authentication (MFA) is turned off by default. However, you will be asked to provide a phone number for recovery purposes only. Select Next.
7. Enter your phone number and select whether you want to have a verification code sent via text or phone call. Then hit next.
8. Once your code is verified, hit next.
9. If you plan to use Teams frequently on your device, selecting “Dont show this again” and “Yes” will help keep you logged in for future sessions. That way all you have to do is go to http://teams.microsoft.com and you will be logged in automatically.
10. You will be asked to take a tour of Teams after the first login. This will show you the basic layout of Teams, and is encouraged if you’re not familiar with the platform. In the bottom left corner, you will also be given an option to download the Desktop Application. The Desktop Application may have more features for power users but is not necessary for most functions.
That’s It, You are up and running! You can continue to use TEAMS in your web browser. You can OPTIONALLY install the full-desktop application - it does have more advanced features, and power users may prefer it, but it not required, and is not necessary for ALL users.
11. If you decide to install the Desktop Application later, you can go download it from this link.
**NOTE: You must use the Teams for Work or School application, or it WILL NOT WORK. If you have a pre-installed Teams application and you are unable to login, you likely have the Teams for home or small business application. This accounts for a large number of login issues.
12. You will also receive a prompt to download mobile apps after initial login.
13. If you decide to install the mobile application later, you may go to the App Store or Google Play to download app.
