Installing Microsoft Teams
If you do not already have Microsoft Teams on your mobile phone, please go to the app store and search “Microsoft Teams”. The app, with the below logo, is free to download:
Once Microsoft Teams is installed, please open the app and sign in with your Office 365 credentials, which will be your company email address and password. If you are asked to allow any permissions, please click Allow.
Conference Calling
Microsoft Teams allows you to call anyone within your organisation. You can also have a conference call with multiple people in your organisation, free of call fees, using your mobile data or WiFi.
We’d always recommend to use WiFi where possible to save your mobile data, and ensure call quality is the absolute best it can be.
To start a conference call, open Teams and go to Calls. Click the + at the top right, and search for those you wish to call. Once you have selected everyone, click Call.
To add additional callers mid-call, click the plus at the top right, search for the person who you would like to add and click Add.
