Teams is an amazing collaborative tool. This quick guide is intended to help you get started on your journey with this powerful tool, and is by no means an exhaustive resource. Stay tuned for training sessions coming soon.

If Teams is not currently on your computer, you can download it from Office 365 here:

Download Microsoft Teams

Select Download for Desktop, and follow the prompts to install the application.

The first time you launch the newly-downloaded Teams app, you will be prompted to log in.

Log in using the same credentials as you did with the Microsoft 365 site:

• Username: your myWSUID@wichita.edu (e.g. A123Z987@wichita.edu)

• Password: Your existing myWSU password

You may be prompted to log in one more time and/or authenticate with Duo.
