Providing support for easy meetings, small group work and online classroom sessions has never been easier than with Teams Meetings.

Teams Meetings provides the ability to invite your class to join you in an online virtual call, allowing users to view past and upcoming meetings, schedule individual or recurring meetings, and join the Teams Meetings related to the course directly from Learn Original. Teams Meetings also interacts with Teams Classes in Original and will become automatically enabled when Microsoft Teams is enabled in your course, allowing you to schedule meetings in Teams for specific channels in your class. Follow the guidance below to create a new Meeting in Teams.

Once your administrator has completed the setup for Microsoft Teams, then you and your students will be able to view past and upcoming meetings, schedule individual or recurring meetings, and join the Teams meetings related to your Learn Original course.
