As a reminder, Canisius University transitioned from Zoom to Microsoft Teams at the end of the Spring 2025 semester.
Microsoft Teams offers many of the same collaboration tools as Zoom plus additional features including seamless integration with Outlook calendar, no time limits on meetings, department/office chat groups (called Chats) and sharing groups (called Teams) to quickly share important documents amongst members.
To help ensure a smooth transition, faculty and staff are encouraged to:
- Visit the Microsoft Office Support: Teams Tutorials Wiki Page
- Sign up for a 30-minute Microsoft Teams Workshop
- Schedule a 1-on-1 appointment with COLI staff
Faculty and staff still have access to the free version of Zoom, however, please note that it has certain limitations. Learn more about these limitations here. Additional information and resources can be found here.
