Microsoft Teams is the preferred method of holding online meetings for the Town and is part of the Office 365 package. With it we can instant message each other, utilize call-in features, see other meeting participants via video, collaborate on projects and much more. Teams allows us to share files and our desktop with other meeting participants securely using Microsoft's secure cloud application. While Teams is installed on all workstations at Town Hall, the recommended way to use Teams is with the Microsoft Edge browser via the web. Remember, you will need a microphone, web camera or both to utilize Microsoft Teams. We recommend obtaining a headset to minimize audio feedback from your computers speakers.
