SORH 205: How to start your Teams meeting and show content
Installed during the 24-25 Winterm, SORH 205 has a Microsoft Teams interface. This allows users to let the room manage the Teams meeting, while their laptop is used solely for content.
The SORH 205 Teams calendar is used only for Teams meetings, not for scheduling. To schedule the room contact Lori Sweitzer at sweitzerl@uwstout.edu, or 715/232-5320.
(Beginning the fall of 2025 room scheduling for SORH 205 will be done by Registration and Records via EMS, but you will still need to schedule your Teams meeting)
Once you have your reservation confirmation, you will need to schedule the Teams meeting adding SORH 205 as a participant, not as a room. See KB #148296 "How to schedule a Teams meeting in SORH 205".
This KB entails the basic instructions. More information about Microsoft Teams can be found at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/paths/get-started-managing-microsoft-teams/
