The summer holidays are coming to an end, and we will soon return to the books and early mornings as school and university start up again. Ever since COVID, Microsoft Teams has taken off as a new educational tool to help students and teachers interact with one another, it is also a great way for parents to contact teachers and a place for work to be submitted by students. Most people will access Microsoft Teams using a phone, tablet or computer, but did you know you can access the tool on more unusual devices, like a gaming console?

We are here to provide you with how to use Microsoft Teams on PlayStation and Xbox, so no matter what you’re doing, you have a handy way to access your educational needs. Let’s get into it!

Search for Microsoft Teams and log in as you would usually.

Remember, it’s important to consider that although you’re using your gaming console to access Microsoft Teams, it shouldn’t be distracting you from your workload and you shouldn’t be getting preoccupied with gaming and playing with friends. If you feel like you are getting distracted using your gaming console, simply disable gaming notifications on your Xbox by heading to the Settings on your console selecting Notifications and turning them off. Or disable them on PlayStation by going to the control centre and turning Notifications to Do Not Disturb.
