Microsoft Teams? Is It Meant To Be A Palaver?

[piggynose]

I tried to use it today for the 1st time as it seems to be preferred to zoom and google meet by a student i´m working with.
As i didnt like being the guest i thought id be the host. What a palaver!! Is it really that difficult to use?

[bednobs]

nope its very easy

[piggynose]

Thanx for that reassurance bednobs. Maybe i havent got the patience today. Its just that the alternatives zoom +googlemeet were so simple and took seconds to use. I seem to be going around in circles with MT. Will try again tomorrow.

ps whats wrong with being the guest?

Could have been worse! Could have been Skype :-)

ps whats wrong with being the guest? are you serious bednobs? when you´re the guest you lose control of the stuff you want to use in the class.

[bednobs]

you must e using it wrong hen ... when i use it anyone can use the tools. The only thing you can't get as the invitee is the list of attendees. but if there is only 2 of you, it doesnt matter

Bednobs if you go into your calendar and the invite there is a tracker and if you click on that you should see all the attendees

[Redhelen72]

If you want to be the host you have to set the meeting up.
So go to you calendar click new meeting then on the tool bar there should be a teams meeting button press that.
It will automatically set up a meeting and you just add the attendees

[bednobs]

i meant the people who actually attended - on mine the host gets a downlod of who joined the meeting, not who was invited

[piggynose]

well bednobs i´m going to give one last go tomorrow with my wife.
Id appreciate it if one of the lovely people could give me a walk me through guide. A side note when i looked at some youtube tutorials, their screen was more elaborate than mine. I remember only having 3 things on the left hand column.
