Meetings on Teams are how teachers and pupils can communicate when not learning together in a classroom.
Whether learning via a consortium class, being at home due to self-isolation or illness, Teams Meetings are one way in which you can stay in touch with your teacher and classmates.
This can allow the teacher to teach the class remotely. Pupils can still interact with the teacher and their classmates by viewing PowerPoints and other content the teacher chooses to share, as well as participating in meetings by using a camera and mic, or the text-based chat panel.

Meetings using Teams on different devices
We know that people’s experiences in using Teams meetings differs considerably. Schools tend to use either a web-browser based link to a meeting or the Teams App to set up meetings with our pupils. However we have found that settings vary slightly depending upon the type and model of device you are using.
Microsoft thankfully have published some of the differences on their website. Click this link to view that Teams advice from Microsoft.
It is also worth noting that a Teams meeting relies wholly upon the high speed streaming of data. A single meeting can of course use a lot of your internet data, so it is worth monitoring closely.
