Making Microsoft Teams available for everyone

With COVID-19 continuing to impact people and countries around the world, teams and schools everywhere are moving to remote work and distance learning. Get Microsoft Teams for free and learn how to get started.

Stay productive while working remotely with Microsoft Teams

Teams across the globe are moving to remote work. Microsoft aims to keep teams connected while they work apart by making Microsoft Teams available to as many people as possible. Teams allows you to chat, meet, call, and collaborate all in one place. Contact ACS and start using Teams for free today.

Microsoft published figures 19^th March stating 44m users are now working on Teams daily, a 12m increase just in the last 7 days!

So, is your workforce empowered?

Microsoft Teams can empower remote workers to chat, meet, call and collaborate in one place, wherever they’re working. Meet with teams of 10 or 10,000. Host audio, video and web conferences with anyone inside or outside your organisation or go big with live events.

Chat from anywhere

Share your opinion, and your personality. Send gifs, stickers, and emojis in a group chat or in one-to-one messages.

Meet from anywhere

Instantly go from group chat to video conference with the touch of a button. Teams of 10 or 10,000 can meet in one place, no matter how many places they’re in.

Call from anywhere

Never yell “who just joined?!” ever again. Use Teams calling, Phone System, Calling Plan, or Direct Routing to take the stress out of conference calls.

Collaborate from anywhere

Never do that frantic, searching-for-files thing ever again. In Teams you can access, share, and edit Word docs, PowerPoint, and Excel files in real time.

What is Microsoft Teams?

With Microsoft Teams on your PC, Mac, or mobile device, you can:

• Pull together a team
• Use chat instead of email
• Securely edit files at the same time
• See likes, @mentions, and replies with just a single tap
• Customise it by adding notes, web sites, and apps
