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. If you don’t see it and you are off campus, you will need to connect your computer to VPN and wait for the app the install.
