he Department of Defense (DoD) created the Commercial Virtual Remote (CVR) Environment to support the Department’s move toward a large-scale telework posture in response to the COVID-19 national emergency. This new tool called “Microsoft Teams” provides the DoD with enhanced collaboration capabilities for DoD teleworkers to facilitate continuity of operations throughout the duration of the emergency. Most of you have downloaded the App already to your work computers. Microsoft Teams is the ultimate messaging app for DANTES—a workspace for real-time collaboration and communication, meetings, file and app sharing, and even the occasional emoji! All in one place,
all in the open, all accessible to everyone. Here are a few reasons why you should use it: • • • •
Rich chat with text, audio, video, and file sharing. Have a private chat to develop an idea, then share it with the entire organization. Store all your files, docs, and more in one place. Integrate your favorite apps— Planner, Trello, GitHub, and many more.
Unfortunately, both the camera and the microphone are disabled on the NMCI computer. But you can plug in a headset and listen in on the conversation. You can also download the app to your personal computer or phone.
