This guide details the procedure for joining a Microsoft Teams Meeting on the web. Joining a teams meeting on the web can be done with the Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome web browsers and does not require a software download. Joining on the web is useful if you do not have the Microsoft Teams application installed on the computer you are using or if you are a guest who was invited to a meeting hosted by someone at UW-Green Bay. If you do have Microsoft Teams installed on your computer, the easiest way to join a Teams meeting is from within the application. Please see Microsoft Teams - Joining a Teams Meeting With the Teams Desktop Application.
Microsoft Teams Meetings can be joined on the web by clicking a meeting link in an email invitation or event in your Outlook calendar. Use the following procedure to join a Teams meeting on the web with a meeting link:
Locate the meeting invitation message in your email inbox and open the message. If you accepted the meeting invitation and RSVP’d in Outlook, you can open the meeting event in Outlook’s calendar instead. To access the calendar in outlook, press the Calendar button in the lower-left corner of Outlook. Double-click the meeting event in your calendar to open it and view the invitation message.
Look for the Click here to join the meeting link within the body of the email message or calendar event and click it.
A Teams Join conversation web page will open in your default web browser. What happens next will vary depending on your browser and whether or not Microsoft Teams is installed on your computer:
Once you have selected the method of entry and given the website permission to use your camera and microphone, you will be taken to a page where you can configure your audio and video settings and preview your video before joining the meeting. Type your name in the “Enter name” field located inside of the video preview window.
To enter the meeting, click the Join now button located inside of the video preview window. Before joining you may optionally configure the following settings:
Depending on how the meeting settings are configured, you may see a “Someone in the meeting should let you in soon” message. The meeting organizer will be notified that you are waiting in the lobby and will be given the option to admit you.
Once you have entered the meeting, you can use buttons in the Meeting controls panel in the bottom middle of the meeting window to turn on/off your microphone and camera, share your screen, open the conversation (text chat), and access other meeting features. Please see Microsoft Teams - Teams Meeting Controls for more information.
NOTE: Screen sharing is currently only supported in Google Chrome and the Microsoft Teams desktop application.
Microsoft made a bunch of announcements today that included new features for its productivity apps including Teams and Chromium-based Edge browser. These updates are expected to come soon.
For starters, Microsoft is replacing its Office 365 suite of apps with a new 'Microsoft 365' subscription service. Microsoft 365 Personal and Family plans will go live on April 21 and it will offer access to Office apps, OneDrive storage and more.
What's coming to Edge?
Microsoft's Chromium-based browser Edge is getting some new features like a Collections bookmarking option. Vertical tabs for Edge came as quite a surprise for most since a lot of browsers have experimented with this in the past and this has been seen as a niche feature for advanced users. However, you will have to wait a bit to try this out since it is currently scheduled to roll out to preview channels over the next few months.
Another feature coming to Edge is the Smart Copy. This will help in cases like copy pasting a table from a website without making a mess. With Smart Copy, Edge will be able to preserve the formatting as is on the original point you are copying from. This feature will launch on Edge Insider channels next month.
Edge is also getting a Password Monitor that Microsoft has built from scratch. It is similar to features seen on other browsers and in extensions like Google's Password Checkup. Password Monitor will constantly scan the web to ensure your credentials have not been stolen. The cool feature here is that you won't just get a notification if your credentials are compromised, the notification will take you straight to the respective service's site to change your password.

Collections on Edge is essentially a tool to bookmark related sites, image and even text snippets. It's more ephemeral than bookmarks but more durable than keeping a bunch of tabs open. Collections will be coming to the mobile version of Edge too so users can sync Collections between devices.
Besides this, Microsoft Editor is expanding to Outlook and Microsoft Edge (and Google Chrome) via the Office extension. Microsoft Editor is a Grammarly-like competitor that provides grammar, punctuation and sentence suggestions as you type. The feature is free if you're using a web browser and Office online, with paid enhancements available via the new Microsoft 365 subscription.
What's new on Microsoft Teams?
Microsoft is going to launch a consumer version of Microsoft Teams later this year. If you have not heard of Microsoft Teams, it is a Slack-like text, audio and video chat application. Teams for your personal life will feature a bunch of tools that will make it easier for families and small groups to organise and coordinate events, share information and get on video calls.
Like you can on Outlook, you can switch between work and personal accounts on Team and the personal view will look a little different with shared calendars for family, access to OneDrive vaults, photo sharing etc.
