Joining webinars and events using Microsoft Teams

Snap Surveys are now running webinars and events using Microsoft Teams.

You can register for one of our webinars or events at Events and Webinars.

Once you have completed the registration process for the webinar or event, you will receive an email containing a link with the text, “Join the webinar”. You may have to scroll down towards the end of the email. When you are ready to join the webinar, click this link.

There are several options to join the webinar, depending on whether you already have a Microsoft Teams account or not. If you have a Microsoft Teams account, you can join via the Microsoft Teams app on a desktop or mobile device.
