Search & invite

Unlike Skype, Teams requires you to invite the other person and have them accept before you can message or call.

A tutor cannot call a student until the student accepts the invitation first.

Search & Invite (Windows)

At the top of the Teams window, enter the other person's Microsoft account in the "Search" box.
　　
* A Microsoft account is usually an email address like xxxx@outlook.com or xxxx@outlook.jp.

Learn more about Microsoft accounts below.

What Is a Microsoft Account?


For example, to invite NetChai support, type "netchai_customer@outlook.jp" in the search box.
　　
Matching accounts appear automatically — no need to press Enter. Click the account shown under "People."


Click it to return to chat, then type a message like "This is ○○, a NetChai student." to send the invitation.
