Microsoft Teams – Manual for External Students

How to connect to courses – external students

If you are an external student – i.e., a student from a different faculty of Charles University, another university, etc. – and you have not been assigned a username yet (such as username@ff.cuni.cz), please, follow these steps to connect to the distance learning via the Microsoft Teams platform:

1. The teacher has to add you to the team with your email address.

Ask your teacher to add you to the team of the course with your (personal) email address (e.g., jmeno@gmail.com).

2. An invitation to join the team will be sent to your email address.

An invitation to join the team will be sent to your email address. Click on “Open Microsoft Teams.”

If you are not asked to create an account (see the 3rd step), we recommend copying the link, opening the browser in an incognito (private) mode, and pasting the link there.

3. Create an account

Information bar will pop up that you have no account under this email address and that you can create one.

Click on “Next,” choose your password and fill in other required details.

4. Join the lectures

Afterwards, you can join your CU FA online lectures in Teams by logging in with your email and the password you have chosen.
