Backup Plan?
In some scenarios we can use Microsoft Teams as a backup service for delivering training. Our experience in 2019 and 2020 has been that Zoom has delivered a far more stable, performant experience for trainees, however Microsoft Teams offers similar functionality if needed.
Microsoft also include a "test call" function that can be used to validate your setup, accessed via the following steps:
- Open Teams and Sign in
- Click your Profile picture (usually top right)
- Click Settings in the menu
- Click Devices on the left
- Under Audio Devices, click the "Make a test call" button
