You will require a Microsoft account to use the Teams Desktop app.
If you have received it already, you can use your CQSB email and password to access the app.
If you have not received your CQSB email and password yet, you can create a Microsoft account using your personal email to start accessing the app. Once you do receive your CQSB email, you should log-out of your personal account and only use Teams with your CQSB email.
Whether or not you have a Microsoft account, it is possible to join a Teams Meeting.
You can use the Desktop app or the Web Browser version to access a Teams Meeting through the email invitation you have received.
As previously stated, the Desktop version of Teams is the most complete so it should be prioritized when possible.
