CHAPTER 14

Joining a Meeting

You can’t do much in an online meeting if you can’t join it. Thankfully, Teams makes joining a meeting notably easy. The desktop app offers Join buttons and notifications throughout to pull you right into your next class or brainstorming session. And for those who do not use Teams, you can join right in a browser. Teams is one of the few online meeting apps that requires no plugins or downloads to attend a meeting.
