How do I sync course data in Canvas with Microsoft Teams?

If enabled by your institution, you can sync course data from the People page in your Canvas course to Microsoft Teams.

Notes:

  • If the Microsoft Teams integration does not display in your Course Settings, it has not been enabled by your institution.
  • When enrollments changes are made in a course that has enabled Microsoft Sync, it may take up to 10 minutes for those changes to sync to Microsoft Teams.
  • For the Microsoft Teams sync to work properly, there must be a user with the Teacher, TA, and/or Designer role in Canvas matching an Owner in Teams.
