You are likely to be seeing this page because you have received a Microsoft Teams meeting invite from our most valuable asset – our employee. Please follow a few easy to use steps.
I have Teams installed on my device:
If you are an ALEC employee, you will usually join Teams meeting from your computer by clicking the “Join Microsoft Teams Meeting” link in the invite.
This video shows you how.
If you are not an ALEC employee but you have Microsoft Teams installed on any of your devices, you can also join the meeting by clicking the “Join Microsoft Teams Meeting” link in the invite.
For a comprehensive guide listing all options to join the meeting invite, please visit this page.
If your call quality is poor, and if a number is provided in the meeting invite try using a telephone to join, please refer to joining using audio-conference.
I do not have Teams installed on my device:
You can join a Teams meeting anytime, from any device, whether or not you have a Teams account.
Once you select the “Join Microsoft Teams Meeting” link a web page will load:
You can respond to menu selections or select “Continue on this browser” instead. Your browser may ask if it’s okay for Teams to use your mic and camera. Be sure to allow it so you’ll be seen and heard in your meeting.
Enter your name and choose your audio and video settings, and when you’re ready, hit “Join now”.
This will bring you into the meeting lobby. An ALEC meeting organizer will be notified that you’re there so they can then admit you.
Notes:
If no one admits you to the meeting within 15 minutes, you’ll be removed from the lobby. If that happens, you can try joining again.
I have access only to the telephone (aka audio-conference):
If a meeting invite features a phone number and conference ID in the meeting invite and if you’re unable to use the Teams app or Teams on the web, you can join that meeting by calling a phone number.
Simply dial the number to join. Please note that the number in your invitation may not be local to you. Select Local numbers to find one that is.
ALEC Meeting Organizer:
If you are meeting organizer joining via phone, in addition to the Conference ID, you may need to identify yourself via PIN.
