SAU19 Knowledge Base - Using Microsoft Teams in Schoology (Synchronous Class Meetings That are Course Section Specific)

SAU #19 Schoology users with Microsoft 365 accounts can create Microsoft Teams meetings from within a Schoology Course to create a meeting to host a virtual class. To create a meeting link, please follow these directions if you are teaching synchronous Section specific Courses or Courses that are not linked:

Create a Microsoft Teams Meeting from the Left Side Bar of a Schoology Course

1. Click Microsoft Education from the left side bar from your Schoology Course.

2. If this is the first time you are using Microsoft Education from your Schoology Course, you will need to sign into your Microsoft account. Click Sign in. Sign in using your Microsoft 365 log in (this log in should automatically be entered as soon as you click Sign in). It will then set up your Microsoft Education connection with this Section of your Schoology Course.

3. Click Meetings.

4. Click New Meeting.

5. Add a title for your meeting (you can add the period number to help keep meeting links clearly labeled). Then toggle on Keep class in sync to automatically add all students within this section of your Schoology Course to the meeting.

6. If you need to remove any students from the meeting list for any reason, toggle off Keep class in sync and you will see the student names in the attendee section. X any students you want to remove from the meeting in advance.

7. Adjust the date and time of the meeting and add any relevant information into the description. Then click Save.

Your meeting will now be visible under the Upcoming tab.

Please Note: If you are utilizing linked sections, you will need to complete this process for every linked section by clicking the Section drop-down menu to switch to the next section and then set up the meeting for that class.

The My Meetings tab will allow you to see all scheduled meetings.

The Previous tab will list all past meetings.

The Attendance tab will provide analytical data about the students who attended your meeting.

The Recordings tab will allow you to access the recordings of your meetings.

To join a Team meeting:

1. Click Microsoft Education from the left side bar from your Schoology Course.

Please Note: Both staff and students will join the meeting this way.

2. Click Meetings.

3. Click Join to start the meeting.

Please Note: If you are utilizing linked sections, you will need to navigate to the section of the Course you want to start the meeting in by using the Section drop-down menu and then click Join.

4. You can choose to access the meeting from the Microsoft Teams desktop app or via web browser. If you have the desktop app, click the Open Microsoft Teams prompt. Alternatively, click Continue on this browser instead to join the meeting in a separate tab in your browser.

Please Note: If you are using a mobile device, you will need to download the Microsoft Teams app in advance to use the app option.

6. Set any video and audio option preferences and click Join now to enter the meeting.

End a Microsoft Teams Meeting
