Microsoft Teams In Canvas

There are two Canvas Integrations for Microsoft Teams available in Canvas: Class Teams and Teams Meetings.

• Microsoft Teams Meetings allow virtual Teams Meetings to be scheduled & launched from the Canvas Course Navigation Menu.

Microsoft Teams FAQ

• Microsoft Teams Classes or Microsoft Teams Meetings are not in my Course’s Navigation. How do I fix this?

  The integration is not enabled by default. Each integration must be enabled individually in the Course Settings. Follow the instructions in our set-up guides for Class Teams and/or Teams Meetings.

• What about cross-listed courses? (multiple courses under one section)

  All students will be in the main course’s Microsoft Teams class. Private channels can be manually created in this Class Team for each section if desired.
