NACAA will be utilizing Microsoft Teams for our Virtual Platform.  You must register with the email address you intend to log-in with in order to participate (become a member of the Team). Once you officially register - your email address will be added to the Team, and you will receive an email invitation to join the Team. In order to simplify the process of entering the Team, you may be asked to create a Microsoft Account (with your email address).  This will allow you to download Microsoft Teams onto your computer/phone device.  One of the primary advantages of utilizing Microsoft Teams is that you won't be required to register for each specific event you would like to participate in.  All events will be listed on the Team page - and you will be able to easiliy switch from one meeting to another (and have up to 4 concurrent meeting running at the same time) if desired.
