Introduction
Microsoft Teams Meetings allows customers with Microsoft accounts to create conference calls (meetings) using the Microsoft Teams integration with Canvas. This integration can be used in many areas that support the Canvas Rich Content Editor.
Teams Meetings settings can be customized by an institution's Microsoft Edu account administrator. 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.
This Canvas app integrates the Microsoft Teams Meeting App for Learning Management Systems. It leverages LTI 1.3 and deep linking for the editor button placement. No Canvas API or other LTI service scopes are enabled for this application. The privacy level for launches is set to public.
Note: The Microsoft Teams Meetings LTI is not currently supported in the Canvas test environment. For testing purposes, the Canvas beta environment is recommended.
