FAQ
How do I access the Region Staff College online?
All links to access the Region Staff College are in the schedule above. Please note, that different parts of the course have different links, so please make sure you're using the correct one.
We are using Microsoft Teams Meetings for the breakout sessions. A dial-in audio-only phone number is also available for the breakout sessions if you have a limited internet connection or if you're unable to get one of the apps to work.
Do I need a .gov email (@kswg.cap.gov) email to access Teams?
No, you can access all the sessions via a browser without logging in.
If you're not a cap.gov email, you'll need to choose "Continue on this browser" after clicking any of the Join Meeting links. This will allow you to simply type in your name and join as a guest user.
If you are a North Central Region member and have a cap.gov email, you can download Microsoft Teams for Windows, macOS or Linux or for your phone from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.
What if I have never used Microsoft Teams and I want to make sure it works?
Each day leading up to the Conference, June x,y,z we are hosting a test session at 8pm CDT / 7pm MDT. It is highly recommended that you connect to one of these test sessions to verify you will be able to connect for the actual conference.
It would also be great if you had a webcam and microphone (or headset) to participate in the breakout sessions. If you don't have one, you can try using your phone as it likely has a camera on it.
