Microsoft Teams: Create a Teams Meeting in Canvas
Canvas and Microsoft Teams, Together at Last!
The tool appears in the Rich Content Editor within: Assignments, Discussions, Calendar Items.
When you open up the Rich Content Editor, you can see the Apps button near the right side. It can be either a little plug icon or within the three-dot (vertical ellipsis) menu item (depending on screen resolution).
Adding a meeting from the Calendar
Click on Calendar from your Global Navigation
Click on the Plus Button for ‘Create New Event’
Enter your event details
Very Important! Be sure to pick the correct CALENDAR for your event! If you’re creating an event for a specific course, pick that specific course or else your students won’t see the event!
Don’t click ‘Submit’, instead select ‘More Options’.
Look for the ‘Apps’ button on the text editor ribbon
Search for ‘Microsoft Teams’ or scroll through the apps list and select ‘Microsoft Teams Meetings’
The first time you use Teams in Canvas, you may be asked to login or to grant permissions to use the app. Click ‘Yes’ or ‘Allow’ to continue. You can then create a Teams Meeting Link:
Enter your meeting details on the screen and hit ‘Create’. Unfortunately, the tool does not inherit your meeting details from the previous screens.
You’ll return to Canvas and your calendar item will be updated with a link to the event.
Submit or Update your Event and your students will be able to join your meeting once they click the link.
