Attendee Introduction
Back to: Attend & Host Teams Meetings Well – LIVE for Individuals
When Teams meetings are just about the definition of what Microsoft Teams means for so many people, we finally have gotten to a section where we’re going to focus on Teams meetings. Yay!
This section is about attending a meeting and doing it confidently and well, it’s not about running the meeting – we are going to do that in the next section. Invitations and getting security right and those sorts of things. That’s the next section.
This is just focusing on being comfortable attending the meeting in this whole virtual Teams environment. If we have a look at the lessons that we are going to cover in this section, we are going back to the absolute basics of Teams meetings so that everybody is on the same page. We are learning from the ground up.
Some of you will be able to skip a lesson or two, or at least hit the fast forward option. Just change up the speed of the video that you’re watching, and watch it quickly for the lessons that you are confident in, totally fine. But there may be some tips that you’ll learn by sticking around!
Now, just before I get into the first lesson, I want to mention that there is a handout available for this section. It’s a reminder checklist for you on attending an online meeting. It is a simple checklist just to help you remember to do things at different stages of the meeting. When you receive an invite, things to think about before the meeting, what do you need to remember to do before an online meeting?
- Check your camera.
- Check your audio.
- Check your microphone and
- Is your hair looking alright?
And then what do you need to remember during the meeting, and then lastly after the meeting, what should you be doing. On the bottom of the sheet, I’ve also put a quick keyboard shortcut list for how to turn your audio and your video ON and OFF quickly and easily, and a couple of other shortcuts that you might find useful.
