Working with partners beyond the formal boundaries of the University is essential to the mission of our Land Grant institution. This guide is intended to help UVM affiliates and our partners use Microsoft Cloud services to collaborate successfully. Those partners can be private individuals or members of organizations that may have their own instances of Microsoft’s services.<\/p>\n \t\t

\r\n \t\t\tExternal Users<\/span> \t\t\t \t\t\t\t

\r\n \t\t\t\t\t In this guide, we often refer to “external users.” Meaning those who don’t use a UVM NetID<\/strong> account to access Microsoft services. Even UVM employees and students who use their LCOM accounts are considered external users, though LCOM folks also have UVM NetID accounts.<\/span> \t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n \t\t\t \t\t\t\r\n \t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t\n

We have provided some specific guidance for working with our colleagues at the Larner College of Medicine. Please see that documentation here: Microsoft Teams \u2013 Navigating between LCOM and UVM<\/a><\/p>\n

\n1. Click on the meeting link provided to you by the meeting organizer<\/p>\n

2. From here, you can either Continue on this browser<\/strong> or, if you have the Microsoft Teams app on your computer, click Join on the Teams app<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. You can now join the meeting by entering your name and clicking J<\/strong>oin<\/strong>. If you have a Microsoft Account or your organization has its own Microsoft Tenant, we recommend signing in to ensure your account is “authenticated.”<\/p>\n

\n \t\t\tUnable to chat<\/span> \t\t\t \t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\n \t\t\t\t\t If you find that you’re unable to chat, it’s possible the meeting was created within a Team’s channel. Please ask the organizer to add you to the Team or schedule the meeting outside of the Team’s channel. \t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
