As you do not have a Microsoft Teams account, and are joining on a mobile device, you will not have access to the Q&A functionality in Teams. We encourage you to submit your questions beforehand to ensure they can be addressed at this session.  You can submit your question here.


I see a phone number in the invitation, should I use it instead? 

This is only recommended if you are unable to join via Teams on your mobile (using the app), tablet, PC or Mac in line with the instructions above. If you need to join using the phone number, at the time of the meeting, webinar or event, open the email invite and dial the phone number given. Follow any verbal instructions.

I have joined via mobile app anonymously and it is just sitting in a “Connecting” state?

This is expected. When you join via mobile app anonymously, you do not see the “waiting room” as you would on a desktop device or with an authenticated account.


Your Vote Matters!

As a Cornerstone Credit Union member, you have the final say in approving if the merger proceeds!

A member vote is expected this June, and we ask members to take part in shaping the future of your credit union.
