Communication, Information and Media Center (KIM)

Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is a reliable messenger for chat, audio, and video telephony. Teams is therefore well suited for ad-hoc communication in working groups, learning groups, departments, or for consultation hours.

This platform is temporarily made available to members of the University of Hohenheim as part of the Corona crisis. Functions not urgently required for the core functionality can be deactivated at any time for security or data protection reasons.
