NOTE: The MS Teams connection option is only used for specific clients, NOT for all Learnship courses.

Overview

Having observed a demand from some clients to use different audio connection methods other than Device Audio and Dial In in our Classroom, Learnship has decided to implement a new connection option which will use the MS Teams software to establish audio and video connection for some courses/sessions.

The Teams application is for free, meaning that no paid subscription is needed from your side. Please note that, if a subscription is done, Learnship will not be able to reimburse the costs.
