Download and install Microsoft Teams

The desktop version will work best. The workshop will work best for you if you install Teams on the same computer as R so you can share code snippets and share screens in help channels. A web cam is not required. You may also wish to watch a quick YouTube video before the workshop on how to use Teams.
