Joining a Teams Meeting as an External User

Even without a UConn account, anyone can still be invited to participate in a Teams meeting. This article details how you can join a Microsoft Teams meeting once invited.

Before you can join the meeting, it must first be set up by someone with an Office 365 account (faculty, staff, and students all have O365 licensing).
