Microsoft is developing breakout rooms functionality for Teams and has given the University ‘private preview’ access to it. Breakout rooms enable meeting organisers to split main meetings into smaller sessions for focused discussions. Please note:

• The preview could end at any time so should be used purely to explore the functionality. You should not use it for critical events, or add valuable or sensitive content.
• Microsoft would welcome your feedback (see 'Find out more' link below). We’re obliged to provide any feedback to Microsoft alone – please do not comment on the functionality outside…

Workspace is our new Service to give authorised users access to University systems and data remotely and securely. We are making the Service available to colleagues progressively through September.

Students will need a portable computing device for the academic year 2020/21. There is central guidance available giving recommended specifications for Macs and Windows laptops. All students should follow this unless their department issues specific alternative guidance, which would take priority. The central guidance will be reviewed annually.
