Using Microsoft Teams
Please note, Microsoft Teams is required to participate in this event. Here are instructions on how to download the application - it works better when you use the desktop version rather than the web version.

Registration is required for this event, so that you can receive the link to join the online program. If you have any questions, please email me at: rouya.botlani.efahani@utoronto.ca.

We will send you the link to join a Microsoft Teams Online Meeting in an email:

If you already have access to Microsoft Teams, then all you need to do is click the link in the meeting invite, and you will be connected for a video chat. If you prefer, you can enable only audio.
We recommend that you test this feature before your meeting to make sure everything works properly.
You can also download the Teams app to your mobile device. If you are not familiar with Microsoft Teams yet, you can find instructions on how to use Teams here. Learn how to join a Teams meeting at this page.
