MS-Teams

• Every UZH member has a MS-Teams Account.

  • Use your official UZH institutes email address (...@math.uzh.ch) to login.

  • If you can't login, set a password for account Active Directory under https://identity.uzh.ch

• Login: Microsoft_Authentication

Telephone

• To use MS-Teams as a phone (incl a phone number), a MS phone plan has to be purchased via the institute.

• Typically only administrative staff has a MS phone plan assigned to it.

Using MS-Teams

• MS-Teams via Browser: https://teams.microsoft.com

• MS-Teams Client: Windows & Mac - via App Store

• MS-Teams Client: Linux - Google Chrome WPA (installation see below)

Thinlinc (Linux)

• Webcam Support:
  • Using the terminals in Y27: just plug in the webcam.

    • Audio/Video Test: https://janus.conf.meetecho.com/echotest.html (press 'Start' on the top)

  • Not using the terminals in Y27 (e.g. from at home, or on your notebook): NO webcam support by using MS-Teams via Thinlinc (instead: Start MS-Teams outside of Thinlinc).

• Chat, Audio and Screen share is fine

• Menu > Teams (to find it quickly, type 'teams' in the input field).

First time use / installation

Activate MS-Teams as PWA installation.

• In Google Chrome (Chrome and Brave are supported for the MS-Teams PWA app) open https://teams.microsoft.com

• Log in.

• Allow desktop notifications

• Install the PWA

• From now on, start the PWA via start menu:

• After installation, you'll find also a start icon on the Desktop.
• PWA does not have a dedicated notification icon in the border panel - instead you'll see new message notifications in the general notification area.

• To bring MS-Teams to the front, press Alt-Tab or start MS-Teams again.

Printing

To open the print dialog, please press: Ctrl Shift p.

MS-Teams does not start

• Open the menu (lower left corner)

• Type: Teams

• Click on Repair MS-Teams

• After a few seconds, try to start MS-Teams again.

Problem with audio

Using audio (mic/speaker) in MS-Teams on Thinlinc is fine, but needs some attention after powering on the terminal:

• Power on terminal
• Unplug / plug the headset

• If thinlinc is already conntected: F8 > disconnect and log in again.

• If MS-Teams still has a problem: quit MS-Teams and start MS-Teams again.

Test:

• PWA version of MS-Teams: Menu > pavu (Pulse Audio Volume Control) > Input Devices > Tunnel: flickering when you speak
