Zoom to Teams


Conestoga is transitioning to Microsoft Teams as its central hub for communication and collaboration.  Starting in Fall 2025, Microsoft Teams will become the College’s primary platform for virtual meetings, instructional activities, and collaborative work. This transition will be fully implemented on August 18, at which point Zoom will no longer be the default video conferencing tool. Meanwhile, Panopto will remain in use for video storage and lecture capture needs.

To ensure a smooth transition, we strongly encourage all faculty, staff, and students to begin exploring and using Microsoft Teams now. Getting acquainted with the platform early will help you feel confident and prepared ahead of the official switch.

Be sure to bookmark this webpage and check back often! We'll be updating it with resources, new material, and information as needed to support our transition from Zoom to Microsoft Teams.

Why is this necessary?

Conestoga is embracing Microsoft Teams as part of a broader initiative to streamline technology solutions, enhance integration, and take advantage of Teams’ powerful capabilities.  This platform offers a unified space for communication, collaboration, and productivity—perfectly aligned with Conestoga’s commitment to improving user experience and fostering innovative teaching and learning.
