(This is so you can screen-share. Sometimes, you can’t screen-share using Teams via a browser, so we ask everyone to download and install the app.)

3. Go to Google Play Store and download/install the Microsoft Remote Desktop app *see below

* Remote Desktop app: Be careful to get the Microsoft Remote Desktop application from Google Play Store, as there are several versions, and Chrome has its own remote desktop app that is not the same.
Note: If you were previously able to connect and now cannot connect, (1) first make sure that you are connected to GlobalProtect VPN, and then connect to your computer using the Microsoft Remote Desktop app.
