Microsoft Teams

About Microsoft Teams for employees in University Administration or at KTH schools.

Microsoft Teams brings together communication, digital meetings, document management, and project tools into a single platform for effective collaboration. At KTH we have rules, nomenclature and uniform principles to ensure the most efficient use as possible.
