  • Mouse
  • Webcam w/microphone
  • Headphones or speakers
• (or) Laptop – Most laptops have built-in speakers, camera, and microphone (the following items are recommended for better productivity)
  • Keyboard

  • Large Monitor
• Software Minimum
  • TEAMS

Helpful Links:

• Email:  https://outlook.office.com/mail
• Office: https://portal.office.com
  • This includes Office Online and the installation files to download Office on personal devices (tablets, laptops, computers).
• TEAMS:  Available on Microsoft Suite of Products at https://portal.office.com
  

  • Everyone at WVC has access to TEAMS - a Microsoft product. Login with your network credentials; all of our Microsoft products are sync'd to our network credentials.

    In the upper right corner of your TEAMS app, you will see three dots to indicate "more actions." Click that to schedule a new meeting. Scheduling meetings in your Outlook calendar also allows you to schedule a TEAMS meeting. You can also "Join" a meeting from your Outlook calendar invite.

    TEAMS functions very much like Zoom, only the controls are at the top instead of the bottom.
