First steps

Sign in, get to know the office screen, set your status and character, and take your first walk.

Team Connect opens straight into the virtual office: a map where you and your teammates show up as characters. This guide shows you how to sign in, what is on the screen and how to make it yours in a few minutes.

Sign in

  1. Open your company's Team Connect address.
  2. On the Enter the office screen, type your Email and Password and click Enter.
  3. If your company uses corporate sign-in, click Sign in with SSO and follow your company's login.

Got an invitation by email? The link opens the Accept invitation screen, where you finish signing up and go right in.

The office screen at a glance

  • Map: fills the center of the screen. You are the character with your name; online teammates show up walking, sitting or talking.
  • Sidebar (left): switches areas. From here you open Chat, Calendar, Meet and Notifications, and go back to the map with Open map.
  • People list: shows the Team, who is online and who is offline. If it is closed, use Open people list.
  • Bottom bar: your character menu, the shortcut to your workstation, the microphone and the camera.
  • Minimap and zoom: in the corner of the map you find the minimap, Zoom in map, Zoom out map, Center on character and Keyboard shortcuts.

The first time, a quick tour walks you through these areas. To see it again, open the Character menu and choose See the tour again.

Set your status

Your status shows to everyone as a color around your avatar.

  1. In the bottom bar, click the circle with your initial (Character menu).
  2. Choose Available, Busy or Away.

During a call or a Meet meeting, your status switches to busy automatically and goes back to what it was when you leave.

Customize your character

  1. Open the Character menu and click Edit character.
  2. Pick Skin, Hair, Top, Bottom, Shoes and up to three Accessories, each with its own color.
  3. Use the arrows in the preview to turn the character, or Random for a surprise combination.
  4. Click Save character.

Changes show up on the map in real time for everyone.

Settings in the office menu

Click the icon at the top of the sidebar (Office menu) to:

  • change the interface Language (Portuguese, English or Spanish);
  • turn on, turn off and set the volume of Ambient and Actions sounds;
  • choose whether teammates see when you were last online (Show when I was online). They only see the day, never the time;
  • Sign out.

Your first walk

  1. Walk with W A S D or the arrow keys, or double-click the floor to go there.
  2. Get close to a teammate: you can already hear each other. Your microphone starts muted, so click Unmute microphone in the bottom bar when you want to talk.
  3. If your company uses workstations, double-click a free workstation and choose Claim and sit. From then on, Go to my workstation takes you straight to it.
