How To Use Teams Classes in Canvas Courses (Teams Classes in Microsoft Education)

Overview

Microsoft Teams Classes within Canvas provide a safe, secure, and trusted virtual meeting space. 

• If you do not see the Microsoft Education link in your course menu, send AAPCourseManagement@jhu.edu an email requesting to place the Microsoft Education link on your course menu.
• Only the Instructor Role should set up the Teams in a Course (admins cannot do these steps as they are NOT enrolled in the course).
