  MS Teams

  1. Why doesn’t the EULAR office email me the work documents?

  For security reasons, we do not send files via email. Instead, we store documents on MS Teams, which offers several advantages:

  • Enhanced Security: Protects documents from unauthorized access.
  • Centralized Storage: Easy access and management.
  • Collaboration: Real-time teamwork.
  • Version Control: Track changes and updates.
  • Accessibility: Access from anywhere, anytime.

  2. I have never used MS Teams. How does it work?

  We provide all our authors with an EULAR Microsoft account and detailed step-by-step guides to access the work files. If you encounter any issues, please do not hesitate to contact us and include screenshots for better assistance.

  3. I already have a Microsoft account and prefer not to log out of it. What can I do?

  We suggest opening an incognito browser (private browsing mode) to log into your EULAR Microsoft account.   

  4. I cannot log into my EULAR Microsoft account anymore. What can I do?

  If you have not logged in for an extended period, the system may block your account. Please contact us to reset your password.

  5. I changed my phone (or phone number), and now the authentication isn't working. What can I do?

  Please log in to My Account (microsoft.com), click on "Safety information," and either update your phone number or delete the Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). If the issue persists, please do not hesitate to contact us for assistance.
