Use Teams in Nexus Appointments

Faculty and staff can follow this guide to create a connection between their Nexus appointments and Microsoft Teams. This guide will show you how to create a link that can be shared anywhere, but specifically how to use it with appointments in Nexus.

Create your Teams “virtual office” link

You can share a link that can be used by anyone at the university to reach you through Teams. This link should be posted in your Nexus profile so that it is included in your appointments.

Highlight the following link and Copy it: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/call/0/0?users=

When you paste your link, as shown later in this guide, you will add your published UConn email address to the end.

What does this link do?

When someone clicks on your link, they initiate a Teams call with you. Therefore, the caller needs to have a Microsoft account (all UConn members who have an email inbox are able to place calls). This is a full Teams call with all the capabilities of a Teams Meeting including a Chat that is private between you and the caller. This Chat will persist after your call and will be reused if they call you again, or if you call them.

When receiving an incoming call, you may answer with your camera on, camera off, or deny the call.
