In response to the changing needs of our campus community, the University of Texas at Arlington is opting out of the Microsoft Technology Adoption Program (TAP). TAP allowed users to experience new features before they were widely released.
Teams users at UTA will now receive new features as they are deployed to general release. This change will take place on Friday, February 5th to allow the University to effectively plan for updates moving forward.
UTA and Microsoft will continue our partnership to bring cutting edge tools to the University.
Teams users can enjoy all of the following features:
Chat with other users
Schedule meetings
Make and receive calls
Collaborate, screenshare, share and edit files in real time
Use video conferencing
Use custom backgrounds, gallery mode and together mode
Use apps and workflows
