Install Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is the main communication and collaboration tool used at TRU. Installing the desktop version of Teams will also add the Teams Meetings Add-in for Outlook, allowing you to create and send Teams meeting invites directly from Outlook.

This guide will walk you through installing Microsoft Teams on your computer.

Close all open Microsoft Office programs (Outlook, Word, Excel, etc.) before starting the installation.

Go to the Microsoft Teams Web App in your browser.

When prompted, sign in using your TRU email address:
- Employees: username@tru.ca (e.g., jsmith@tru.ca)
- Students: TRU ID number followed by @mytru.ca (e.g., T00123456@mytru.ca)
Then click Next.

Enter your TRU network password and select Sign in.

If prompted by Microsoft Authenticator, approve the sign-in using your preferred method (push, phone, or passcode).

Choose whether to stay signed in when prompted. Select Yes or No based on your preference.

Once signed in, Teams for the Web will open.

In the top-right corner, click the More Options (…) button next to your profile icon and select Download the desktop app.

The installer will begin downloading automatically. If prompted, choose a location to save the file (usually your Downloads folder).

Once downloaded, open the Teams Installer file and follow the prompts to install.

After installation, open Microsoft Teams. Sign in using your TRU email account again if prompted.

If you see a prompt to "Stay signed in to all your apps":
- TRU-provided devices: Click OK to continue.
- Personal devices: Deselect “Allow my organization to manage my device” and click No, sign in to this app only.
