If you have received an invite to join the Greater Essex County District School Board's (GECDSB) Microsoft Teams account as a guest, learn how you can register with these simple steps.
Register as a guest
To register as guest with the GECDSB's Microsoft Teams account, you must:
- Open your email invitation with the subject line “Microsoft Invitations on behalf of Greater Essex County District School Board”
- Click "Accept Invitation"
From here, you will either be prompted to create a new account or to log in with your email and password. This will depend on if your email account is already associated with a Microsoft account or not.
Forgot your password?
If you are in the login window for Microsoft Teams and you have forgot your password, you must:
- Click on “Forgot Password”
- Click on your preferred contact (email or text) to verify your identity
- Click “Get code”
- Once a unique code is sent to your preferred contact method, copy the code into the next field to verify your identity
- Click “Next”
- Enter a new password
- Click “Next” to confirm
- Once you receive a message that your password was changed, click “Sign in”
An optional step will appear for you to use the smartphone app to sign in without a password where you can click. You can click “Get it now” to set up this feature if you wish.
To continue:
- Click “No thanks”
