MS Teams | Joining your course Team
Most likely you will be automatically added to the Teams environment of your course. However, your course coordinator might request you to enrol using a link or a team code.
This article will explain:
- how to join a team via a link
- how to join a team via a team code
With a link
To enrol in a team within MS Teams using a link, your teacher should provide you with a link to join the team. Most likely it will be placed in your course's Brightspace environment.
1. Click the link

The link will open in a new window that will redirect you to Microsoft’s launcher. Here you can choose to open the meeting in the desktop app or in the browser. Once you open MS Teams, a new window will pop-up asking you to join the team.
2. Click Join

Your request will be sent to the lecturer.
3. Once your lecturer accepts your request, you will receive a notification and will be able to access the team.
