Add a navigational link (menu items) for Teams meetings

[d_whelan]

Hello,

It would be helpful if in the menu on the left-hand side in a Canvas course, there could be a navigational link to "Teams meetings".

This would then show students a list of all forthcoming Microsoft Teams meetings or Teams classes created for the course.

Thank you,

Darius

Thanks for sharing this idea. Last week at CanvasCon 2020, Instructure and Microsoft announced a joint project to make Microsoft Teams a default conferencing tool in Canvas.

We'll move this idea forward for additional conversation, but given the recent news, it's a fairly safe bet that having a button for Teams on the course navigation menu is likely to be included in the final result. In the meantime, instructors can create their own custom links on the course navigation menu by using the Redirect Tool from the EduApps Center.
