Feb 27, 2020 Microsoft Teams Microsoft Teams has clients available for desktop (Windows, Mac, and Linux), web, and mobile (Android and iOS). These clients all require an active internet connection and do not support an offline mode. Jul 31, 2018  My organization recently rolled out Teams and I can't figure out how to help our Mac users with scheduling meetings. I have a PC and when I schedule a meeting from Outlook I have a button to make it a Teams Meeting and it adds the link to the invitation. Microsoft Teams is your hub for teamwork in Office 365. All your team conversations, files, meetings, and apps live together in a single shared workspace, and you can take it with you on your favorite mobile device. Whether you’re sprinting towards a deadline or sharing your next big idea, Teams can help you achieve more. YOUR HUB FOR TEAMWORK. Easily manage your team’s projects with file. PowerPoint 2016 Sign in In Windows, click Start Microsoft Teams. On Mac, go to the Applications folder and click Microsoft Teams. On mobile, tap the Teams icon. Then sign in with your Office 365 username and password. (If you’re using Teams free, sign in with that username and password.). Tech support scams are an industry-wide issue where scammers trick you into paying for unnecessary technical support services. You can help protect yourself from scammers by verifying that the contact is a Microsoft Agent or Microsoft Employee and that the phone number is an official Microsoft global customer service number.

A team owner in Microsoft Teams can add and manage guests in their teams via the web or desktop. Anyone with a business or consumer email account, such as Outlook, Gmail, or others, can participate as a guest in Teams, with full access to team chats, meetings, and files. Only people who are outside of your organization, such as partners or consultants, can be added as guests. People from within your organization can join as regular team members.

Note

By default, guest access is turned off. So, before guests can join a team, an admin must turn on guest access in Teams. To do that, use the Guest access checklist.

How a guest becomes a member of a team

  1. A team owner or an Office 365 admin adds a guest to a team.
  2. The Office 365 admin or the team owner manages a guest's capabilities as necessary: for example, allowing a guest to add or delete channels or disabling access to files.
  3. The guest receives a welcome email from the team owner, with information about the team and what to expect now that they're a member.
  4. The guest accepts the invitation.Guest users who have an email address that belongs to an Azure Active Directory or Office 365 work or school account can accept the invitation directly.If the guest doesn’t yet have a Microsoft account associated with their email address, they'll be directed to create one for free.
  5. After accepting the invitation, the guest can participate in teams and channels, receive and respond to channel messages, access files in channels, participate in chats, join meetings, collaborate on documents, and more.

In Teams, guests are clearly identified. A guest user's name includes the label (Guest), and a channel includes an icon to indicate that there are guests on the team. For more details, see What the guest experience is like.

Guests can leave the team at any time from within Teams. For details, see How do I leave a team?

Note

Leaving the team doesn't remove the guest account from the organization/tenant. See Leave an organization as a guest user for how to remove yourself from the organization.
Alternatively, the organization's admin can remove guest users from the tenant.

When you configure a NIC Team with switch independent mode and either address hash or dynamic load distribution, the team uses the media access control (MAC) address of the primary NIC Team member on outbound traffic. The primary NIC Team member is a network adapter selected by the operating system from the initial set of team members. It is the first team member to bind to the team after you create it or after the host computer is restarted. Because the primary team member might change in a non-deterministic manner at each boot, NIC disable/enable action, or other reconfiguration activities, the primary team member might change, and the MAC address of the team might vary.

In most situations this doesn't cause problems, but there are a few cases where issues might arise.

Microsoft

If the primary team member is removed from the team and then placed into operation there may be a MAC address conflict. To resolve this conflict, disable and then enable the team interface. The process of disabling and then enabling the team interface causes the interface to select a new MAC address from the remaining team members, thereby eliminating the MAC address conflict.

You can set the MAC address of the NIC team to a specific MAC address by setting it in the primary team interface, just as you can do when configuring the MAC address of any physical NIC.

MAC address use on transmitted packets

When you configure a NIC Team in switch independent mode and either address hash or dynamic load distribution, the packets from a single source (such as a single VM) is simultaneously distributed across multiple team members. To prevent the switches from getting confused and to prevent MAC flapping alarms, the source MAC address is replaced with a different MAC address on the frames transmitted on team members other than the primary team member. Because of this, each team member uses a different MAC address, and MAC address conflicts are prevented unless and until failure occurs.

When a failure is detected on the primary NIC, the NIC Teaming software starts using the primary team member's MAC address on the team member that is chosen to serve as the temporary primary team member (i.e., the one that will now appear to the switch as the primary team member). This change only applies to traffic that was going to be sent on the primary team member with the primary team member's MAC address as its source MAC address. Other traffic continues to be sent with whatever source MAC address it would have used prior to the failure.

Following are lists that describe NIC Teaming MAC address replacement behavior, based on how the team is configured:

Microsoft Mac Support

  1. In Switch Independent mode with Address Hash distribution

    • All ARP and NS packets are sent on the primary team member

    • All traffic sent on NICs other than the primary team member are sent with the source MAC address modified to match the NIC on which they are sent

    • All traffic sent on the primary team member is sent with the original source MAC address (which may be the team's source MAC address)

  2. In Switch Independent mode with Hyper-V Port distribution

    • Every vmSwitch port is affinitized to a team member

    • Every packet is sent on the team member to which the port is affinitized

    • No source MAC replacement is done

  3. In Switch Independent mode with Dynamic distribution

    • Every vmSwitch port is affinitized to a team member

    • All ARP/NS packets are sent on the team member to which the port is affinitized

    • Packets sent on the team member that is the affinitized team member have no source MAC address replacement done

    • Packets sent on a team member other than the affinitized team member will have source MAC address replacement done

  4. In Switch Dependent mode (all distributions)

    • No source MAC address replacement is performed
