Microsoft Teams is Humber’s video conferencing platform for live, online classes or virtual office hours in Blackboard Ultra.

The recommended methods for creating and sharing meeting links in an online synchronous class in Blackboard are as follows:

• Create an event in Outlook Calendar using your Humber credentials, copy the meeting link and post in the Course Content area and the Calendar in Blackboard. It’s also a good idea to share the link via an Announcement in Blackboard.
• Create a ‘Class’ event in Microsoft Teams using your Humber credentials, copy the meeting link and post in the Course Content area and the Calendar in Blackboard. It’s also a good idea to share the link via an Announcement in Blackboard.

Important note: MS Teams for online classes was previously integrated into Blackboard via an LTI. This integration has now been removed as it became increasingly unreliable and Blackboard no longer provides support.
