Installing Teams PWA

Microsoft has released a version of Teams better suited to virtual remote server desktop environments. We have found that you will have a quicker and much more consistent experience while using the Teams Progressive Web App

Visit Teams on the Web via Microsoft Edge

VERY IMPORTANT: To get the best experience, we highly recommend visiting this web page via Microsoft Edge

  1. Open Microsoft Edge (Web browser)
  2. Visit this link to navigate to Teams on the web: https://teams.microsoft.com
  3. If it asks you to sign in, your username should be your work email address, and your password will be the same as your cloud password

Install the App

  1. Find the "App Available" button in the URL bar
  2. Click on the button to open a dialogue box
  3. Click "Install" - you will not need admin permissions to do this

Configure the App

  1. After you install, the Teams PWA will open in a new window, and a popup will appear. Tick all available boxes
  2. Click "Allow"
  3. After allowing the permissions, another popup will confirm that you wish to pin it to your taskbar, press "Yes"
  4. Be sure to "Turn on" notifications from the banner up the top, to ensure you are notified of new messages

Install the Badge Notification extension

This is optional but highly recommended, as it will quickly display if there have been any missed messages in your task bar

  1. Visit the following website with Microsoft Edge https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/badge-notifications-for-m/opcgcmanfocenaiippbgachholecmakm
