Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams allows users to share files, chat, and meet online. R-MC users enjoy unlimited storage space, and online meetings can host an unlimited number of participants for an unlimited meeting length. With Microsoft Teams you can teach and hold online meetings anytime and anywhere. You can also record Teams sessions for students to view on demand. In addition, the MS Teams "Call" function allows an R-MC user to make (phone) calls to another community member using his/her R-MC email address instead of his/her phone number.
