*If you are not logged into Microsoft Teams, it may ask you if you want to 'Join as a guest' or 'Sign in and join'. Signing in is the preferred method since it allows the presenter to see who is in attendance and it will give you a record of the meeting, any messages from the chat, and any files shared in your Microsoft Teams app once the meeting has ended. If you are entering as a guest, it will prompt you to enter a name. Please make sure to enter an identifiable name so the presenter knows who is in the meeting.
