  Teams is available to all UTS staff and students and works best on the dedicated Teams app for your device. For the best Teams experience:

  2. Sign in using your UTS email (e.g. 12345678@student.uts.edu.au) and password

  If you need to use the web version of Teams in your browser, use Chrome or MS Edge. Firefox, Safari and other browsers will not work with all Teams features.

• Tips for Teams

  • Use @Mentions to get an individual or channel’s attention - but don’t overuse it! Be aware that when you @ your whole team, everyone will get a notification.
  • In channels, don’t mix up Start a conversation and Reply to a conversation - it’s easy to lose track of conversation threads this way.
  • Keep in mind that you won’t always get an immediate response to a message - like an email, your teacher may check messages at a particular time or day.

• Privacy information

  When using Teams, be aware that you must follow the UTS Acceptable Use of Information Technology policy, and that UTS privacy policies apply to collaboration in Teams.
