Microsoft Teams

Starting in October 2023, UBC will automatically remove video recordings from Zoom and Microsoft Teams one year after each video is recorded. This new video retention policy will affect all faculty, staff, and student employees who use UBC accounts to record with these tools. Detailed instructions can be found here.
Starting April 30, 2021, UBC will be implementing a 90-day data retention schedule to the MS Teams instant messaging feature. For details, please click HERE.

Microsoft Teams provides an alternative to Zoom (especially with Collaborate Ultra being phased out) and is increasingly being used as an online teaching and learning platform at UBC because of its ability to ‘connect’ students online and create a sense of community.  That said, Microsoft Teams lacks some of the functionality that you have grown accustomed to in Zoom, and there is absolutely no requirement to use it.
