Get Started with Teams
We recommend downloading and installing the Teams app on your computer rather than using
the web version. Follow the instructions in the sections below.
If you have a CCAD-issued Mac laptop, the app will install on its own once your computer connects to CCAD’s network. Check your Applications folder for the Teams app.
Download Teams for desktop
Go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/download-app and click Download for desktop.
Install Teams for desktop
Find the Teams installer in your Downloads folder. Double-click it to open.
On Windows, the installer will run in the background and launch Teams once finished.
On Mac, it will open an installer. Click Next to follow the prompts and install Teams. Find the Teams app in your Applications folder and double-click it to launch.
When you launch Teams, you will see the login screen.
Sign into Teams
Find Teams in your Applications folder and double-click it to open. Enter your CCAD email address and click Sign in.
This will take you to CCAD’s Single Sign-On screen. Enter your CCAD email again and click Next.
If you see the screen below, be sure to select Work or school account.
Enter your CCAD password and click Sign in.
You are now logged into Teams!
Teams on a Mobile Device
Teams is available for download via the Apple App Store and Google Play for use on phones, tablets and other mobile devices. Please be aware that calls and messages may also sent to your mobile device even if working on the desktop app. You might also want to adjust your data settings to avoid the use of cellular data if you don’t have an unlimited data plan.
