Summary

Microsoft Teams Meetings is a web conferencing tool available in Canvas.  The Teams Meetings LTI app allows educators and students to access and schedule Teams meetings for the class directly from Canvas using desktop, mobile, or web platforms.

You can use the Teams Meetings app with or without the Teams Classroom app. Think of it as a shortcut to your meeting space where you can view past & upcoming meetings, schedule individual or recurring meetings, and join the Teams meetings related to the course with a few clicks right in Canvas. This article explains how to set up Teams Meetings in Canvas and how to use it.

Starting Fall 2024, the Teams Meetings App will be in our course template(s) for Canvas in the left hand navigation.
