How to: Digital collaboration?

Teams is UiB's preferred platform for digital collaboration. It offers functionality for online meetings, file and desktop sharing, chat, task management, etc. Read more about Teams here.

How to: Online meetings?

• Use Teams
  • How to share your desktop in Teams.
• Use Skype for Business
• Use Outlook (to schedule a meeting in Teams or Skype). PS! The Teams button in Outlook is not yet available to all users.
• We are currently working on making Zoom available as well.

Note! The IT-department strongly recommend using a headset with a microphone, not the computer's built-in speaker and microphone. More information in the purchase guide. Therefore, remember to have your headset available, also off-campus. If you do not have a headset, register a new issue to BRITA via UiBhelp.
