• Use the link in your Microsoft Teams calendar invite to launch both video and audio components.

• If you must dial into a meeting via phone in addition to viewing visuals on your computer, DO NOT click the “Join Now” button when entering the meeting. Instead click “Audio off”, then dial the 347- number in the calendar invite on your phone (as an alternative, click “Phone audio" to have Teams call you.) 

• If you are muted by the organizer but need to speak up, un-mute yourself by pressing *6 on your telephone keypad.

• Have your line MUTED AT ALL TIMES unless you are actively presenting or speaking up on the call.

• When using video, make sure: 
• you look directly at the camera when presenting / speaking (NOT at your own face on the screen).
• you are in an appropriate location for a video call; If needed, CLICK HERE for how to blur out your surroundings on Microsoft Teams.

• To turn off your video, click the camera icon in the middle of your Teams screen until the icon appears crossed out.

• Use video while doing personal activities moving around your space.
• Put a conference call on hold; everyone will hear your on hold music.
• Multi-task while on video calls; others will be able to tell if you are not paying attention.
