Microsoft Teams and CookNet Updates

Microsoft Teams Adoption:

As we collectively continue to adopt Microsoft Teams across the health care system, there are a few key changes that you’ll notice beginning Dec. 4. These are intended to help optimize the Teams experience as we prepare to phase out Skype.

We will convert the automatic launch of our messaging system to default to Teams, and Skype will not automatically launch. Specifically: Status synchronization will default to Teams, and Skype will no longer synch.

For more information, please visit our FAQ section. 

Teams Creation:

If you haven't done so already, please help us populate our new CookNet and Microsoft Teams workspaces. 

Manager level and above can request a Team workspace be created for their group.  Once approved, IS will create the Team workspace and assign owner(s) and members of the Team.  After the Team workspace is created, owners and members will see the Workspace (Team) in their “Teams” section of the Microsoft Teams application.

CookNet Migration:

We need all departments, locations and groups who previously had a CookNet site or are requesting a new one to go through training. 

Here's what you need to do next:

Choose at least two people from your area who'll be responsible for going through training, uploading and maintaining your new CookNet information.

If you have any content that resides on the original CookNet (legacy/old site), click here for the Content Request Form to begin the intake process of building out your new pages and presence on the site.

If you have any questions, please contact the IS Digital Experience team at CookNet Feedback.
