Messaging apps are digital tools that enable instant communication through text, voice, or video. They enhance engagement in courses by providing a fast, convenient way to facilitate direct messages, group discussions, or open forums. With features like file sharing and project collaboration, these tools allow effective communication without requiring personal contact information such as phone numbers. Additionally, the ability to observe group interactions can help create a more secure and inclusive learning environment.

Through our Campus License Agreements, A-State has access to two different messaging solutions. To find out more about them see the information below.


  • Microsoft Teams

    NOTE: All purchases of apps/add-ins (free or paid) from the Microsoft Store, Office Store, or Teams Store are non-transferable and are permanently tied to your A-State account. If you leave the university, you will lose access to any app/add-in that you purchased (whether with university or personal funds). 

    The university provides a Microsoft 365 subscription as part of the Campus License Agreement. See the instructions in the following link to see what licenses are currently assigned to your A-State account.

    Microsoft Teams, included in the Microsoft 365 subscription, is a versatile messaging and collaboration platform designed to support real-time communication and teamwork. It allows users to send messages, host virtual meetings, share files, and integrate with various apps, all within a centralized workspace. Teams are structured to facilitate open collaboration while maintaining accessibility for all participants, making it a practical tool for fostering productivity and connection within your organization.
