Attending training remotely using Microsoft Teams

Please use a Windows laptop or desktop PC with the Teams app installed as per the instructions on the following pages. If this is not possible, we have provided instructions for additional device types but the experience may be different and it may be difficult for the trainer to support you in the session.

Windows computer with the app

Getting set up


Try and minimise background noise, it may be best to be in a separate room if possible and if you have a headset or headphones with a mic or even standard headphones, plug these into your laptop or desktop PC for the session.

It’s important to have a reliable Internet connection, where possible please plug in an ethernet cable from your Internet router into your laptop/modem. If this is not possible, please locate yourself close to your Internet router

Reliable connection

Noise + Headset

When plugging in a headset or headphones, Teams should automatically change audio device. But depending on the device, it may not always change to your preferred option so its possible to check what device is selected and make a test call.

Checking your microphone and speaker settings

Checking your system


In the top right hand corner of Teams click on your account image or initials to bring up this menu on the right. Click on “Settings”.

In this settings menu, select Devices in the left hand menu. Here you can change your what audio device you are using and make a test call. The test call will allow you to record a message to yourself and hear it back to verify your microphone and speakers are correct.

Please join 20 minutes before the start time. This will allow you to check computer settings for camera, speakers and microphone.It will also help us begin promptly and make best use of the session. Those arriving at the webinar after the first five minutes will not be able to join.

Join early

Joining the online session


This is very important. It will protect your privacy, preventing private conversations and remarks being shared in the webinar.You will be able to turn your microphone when there is a need to speak.

Mute your mic and camera

Use the conversation button to post any questions after you join the webinar. Multiple people will be joining at the same time. Should everyone call out it will be difficult to respond to questions or offer support.Please bear in mind it is very difficult for the facilitator to resolve technical issues during a webinar.If you cannot use or see a feature being considered on your computer, please follow the trainer’s screen to make the most of the session.
