About This Feature
Overview
WPS Teams installation and usage on macOS helps you complete app deployment, account sign-in, and entry into the workspace for everyday collaboration. After installation, you can enter the workspace and start using messaging, documents, meetings, and related collaboration features.
Core tasks include:
