The Microsoft Teams application allows users (i.e. students and staff) to collaborate online in teams. It can also be used for hybrid or distance learning. The Teams allows you to create groups (teams), share documents with team members, chat in team channels or in closed chat, and conduct video conferences.

The Microsoft Teams app (client) is available for download and installation for most commonly used systems (Windows, Linux, Android, iOS) and can be used without installation just in a web browser.

From the summer term 2020/2021, the Teams and SIS have been integrated. From SIS, a lecturer can create a team for a specific course automatically and assign it to students enrolled in the course. In SIS, go to "Courses" → select a specific course → click on "Microsoft Teams".

If someone wants to add you to a team in Teams within another organisation (e.g. a university other than the CU), the most secure way to do this is to use your address as UKČO@cuni.cz (UKČO = the personal CU number assigned to each staff member and student, which is shown on their ISIC or university card). It should already work to include a student address in the form:

first name.lastnameXYZ@student.cuni.cz and staff address firstname.lastname@ftvs.cuni.cz, but in the past these alternative addresses have caused a problem.
