Accessing and using microsoft teams

Question

We want to use teams with our ESOL learners but, as we're working from home, we can't be physically there to help our low level ESOL learners with instructions as to how to join a team, access documents in files, etc. I personally learn lots about all kinds of things by watching short youtube videos, many of which don't actually use any language to teach or show you what to do - they use screen casts with arrows actually slowly demonstrating what you need to do.

Does anyone know if Microsoft have instruction videos with either NO language, very simplified language or a range of their videos available in foreign languages. If anyone could help that would be great.

Thanks Drew

Answer 1

Thanks for you reply, however, I've clicked on the link and I can't see an obvious way for our ESOL students to translate the information into their own language. Do you have any simple instructions for this, please?

Hi, Drew!

Thanks for reaching out. My name is Didi, an Independent Advisor. I'll be happy to assist you today.

Here's a Microsoft Teams video training link that you can share with your ESOL students. (They can translate the page into their language.) https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Micros...

This one is a guide, albeit not video, which is very easy to understand: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/sign-i...

Additionally, from the Help icon of the app, they can find topics and some videos to learn more about Teams.

I hope my suggestions help.

Kind regards,

Didi
