Microsoft Teams is a tool that allows you to start and conduct video conferences with your students. This can be a helpful way to share important information with all of your students or to conduct 1-to-1 meetings with specific individuals. Teams even has a screen-sharing feature that would be useful when trying to support your students and answer any questions they may have about navigating course content.
