We are very pleased to have you on board and look forward to your contribution to our joint work within the community.

Below you will find guidelines to help you get started with our Teams environment.

Before You Begin

You need a valid invitation before you can join the PANORAIMA Teams environment. A Teams Owner must add you as a guest first. If you have not received an invitation, please contact one of the PANORAIMA Teams Owners.

Please also avoid opening individual files (such as Word or Excel documents) before joining the full Teams environment. If you do, you may only receive file-level access and will need to request permission for each new document.

How to Join PANORAIMA in Microsoft Teams

You can start by opening the invitation link you received, or begin with the link below:
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/message/19:meeting_NDA3ZjZmMjUtMGY4NS00NzFiLWI1MGQtZjM5OWExYjY4NjI2@thread.v2/1760445691628?context=%7B%22contextType%22%3A%22chat%22%7D

Steps

1. Open the link via your web browser first (Chrome or Microsoft Edge). Please do NOT open the link from a desktop app yet, as this may complicate the setup process. Select “Continue on this browser” or “Join on the web”.
   
2. Follow the guest access instructions available at:
   https://www.internationalhu.com/guest-microsoft-teams
3. Sign in or join as a guest, depending on what you are prompted to do.
   • If your email address already has a Microsoft account associated with it, sign in with that account.
   • Otherwise, continue through the guest access steps and enter your name when asked.
4. Stay in the browser until the setup is fully completed. This ensures your guest relationship with PANORAIMA is correctly created.
5. Once inside Teams, check whether you can switch organisations.
   Go to your profile icon in the top-right corner and look under Organisations — PANORAIMA should appear there.
6. (Optional) After confirming that access works in the browser, you may open or install the Teams desktop app.
7. Once you have access, an updated list of contacts is available in the Teams Tabs. Please review and update your contact details and your role. 

Troubleshooting

• If PANORAIMA does not appear under Organisations, sign out and back in again, or open the link in a private/incognito browser window.
• If you were invited but still cannot access the environment, ask a Teams Owner to verify that the invitation was sent to the correct email address.
• If you can open individual files but not the full Team, you may only have document-level access. Ask the owner to add you to the full PANORAIMA Teams environment.
• If you prefer using the desktop app, ensure that access via the browser works first. It prevents common access issues.
• For persistent issues, contact the HU Helpdesk: helpdesk@hu.nl
