Setting Up Your King's Teams Account on a Computer
Please select where you are trying to setup your King's account:
- Open Start Menu and type teams in the search bar. Open Microsoft Teams.
- If you can see your King’s account, usually in the form of first.last@kings.uwo.ca (for full-time King’s staff), continue with it. Otherwise, click on Use another account then add your credentials for the shared teams calling account, usually in the form of phone-department-caller01@kucits.onmicrosoft.com (for hourly contract employees who may be sharing a Teams calling account).
Teams can recognize your organization account if you’re on your work computer. - Enter your King’s email (firstname.lastname@kings.uwo.ca) or your shared account's email (phone-department-caller01@kucits.onmicrosoft.com) then enter your King's password.
Click Sign in.
- You may be prompted to set up Multi-Factor Authentication. You can choose to have Duo prompt you via a text message, a phone call, or via an in-app push notification. If you are signing in using a shared teams account, your teams calling champion will be prompted to authenticate your login.
You're all set!
