Difference between revisions of "Microsoft Education and Team Meetings in Canvas"

The Teams Meetings app in Microsoft Education lets you schedule Teams meetings with all or select students from within your Canvas course.

Before you get started, make sure you have a Canvas course created for your offering.

Get Started with Team Meetings

• Meetings scheduled through the Microsoft Education Meetings app are associated with your Canvas course and are listed only within that course.

Invited attendees:

• will see these meetings on their Outlook and Teams calendars as well as being able to navigate to the meeting via Canvas
• can participate via the Teams web app; no software installation is required
• can call into a meeting via phone

Configure the Microsoft Education Integration

NEW: Enable and configure the Microsoft Education Integration in Canvas

1. Add the Microsoft Education to your course navigation
2. Configure and enable Teams Meetings
3. Once the Teams Meetings feature is enabled in the Microsoft Education setup, you will now be able to schedule a meeting with your class.

To Schedule a New Teams Meeting:

1. Launch the Microsoft Education tool from your course nav and select the Meetings tile in the dashboard to launch the Meetings app.
2. Click the New Meeting button in the upper right.
3. Enter the required meeting information, such as name, description, and start/end dates and times. You can click the Make Recurring button if needed.
4. To invite attendees:
   • Enter individual email addresses.
   • To invite everyone in your course, click the Add entire class button, which pulls the LMS course roster into the 'To' line. You can remove added users with the Remove entire class button.
5. The Allow anyone in the course to join checkbox pins the meeting in the course for access by anyone in the course. Meetings created with this option will not appear on attendees' calendars unless they are explicitly invited.

Note on Canvas Calendar: Meetings created through the Teams Meetings app do not automatically appear in the Canvas course calendar; you would need to manually add a calendar entry in Canvas
