Running a lecture online
To run a lecture online you have to prepare a link to the meeting firstly. It is worth setting up a regular meeting, so that the lecture will be automatically assigned to the calendar on all dates in the meantime.
To create a link of the meeting, due to the Meeting Options opening in the browser to avoid problems with user authentication, we strongly recommend doing this trough the Edge browser with a dedicated profile. For older Windows, you can use for example Chrome if Edge is inaccessible. Firefox is not working in Teams.
The lecture itself is much more convenient through classic application. It has additional functionalities, which are not provided by Teams from the browser version. These are:
- ability to share movie with sound (not working through www)
- possibility to blur presenter’s background (not working through www)
- possibility to choose the background behind the presenter (not working through www)
- possibility of viewing images from multiple cameras (not working through www)
- better quality of communication and user comfort, including chat in a separate window.
Logging in and invitation preparing with a link to the lecture in MS Teams
- The academic teacher logs into Office 365 system (M365) by using own account in student tenant through the new browser Edge on the website https://office.com.
- AT chooses Teams application and runs it in the browser tab (not in the application).
- AT creates and shares the link with students.
Running MS Teams application and meeting service
- The application, if installed, runs automatically with computer start. We check, which student tenant are we logged in. We log out in the case we need and log into student tenant again.
