PANIC - You're missing out! Ask your admin to enable Microsoft Teams for

[Simcfc73]

Hi,

 

Can anyone help with this... getting it for students at present and one needs it for an interview.

 

We don't use it usually, I've allowed staff access by just assigning a license to them which I've done for students but it keeps saying

 

[h=1]You're missing out! Ask your admin to enable Microsoft Teams for[/h]I've allowed guest access too. I assigned the license yesterday so should be there now and is showing up.

 

Any help would be great

If signing in - they will need the free license and I think its the Office 365 A1 for students or the A1 for faculty. Guest access should work if you've enabled it and doesn't require to sign in.

 

In the license section of 365 admin centre you can view the specific apps they have access to. Microsoft Teams should be there.

 

It can take time to assign though once you've ticked the boxes.

on the admin centre look for the Microsoft Teams card and check teams is on for students.

All seems ok, they don't need exchange do they?

I had to give students Exchange as the Teachers wanted to schedule Parent Consultations using Teams.

Without exchange licenses pupils won't have a calendar within Teams, its not the end of the world. We went through lockdown without it but have now implemented mailboxes for all so that they can follow their timetables without us having to give them complex instructions.

Everything is switched on, I've got a teacher vs a student account side by side and one works the other says its not switched on.

 

3 minutes till the interview!!

[Jamman960]

Is the interview with someone on a remote system? if so you should be able to connect to that without setting your end up

 

If needs be run the device from a 3/4g connection to bypass firewall

have you gone into Teams Admin and 'Activated' the team, apologies if you've already done this.

[Simcfc73]

Yeah she is doing it from there link now, I think we just wanted her to try it beforehand... still baffled why this doesn't work.

Have you followed the instructions on this page?

 

Enable Microsoft Teams for your school - M365 Education | Microsoft Docs

 

Ours had Faculty and Staff enabled but I have to tick the student box before they could use it
