Blackboard and MS Teams: How to Create and Share a Live Online Class Session in the LMS

MS Teams is our video hosting platform for live, online classes in Blackboard Ultra.

The recommended method for creating and sharing the link to an online synchronous class in Blackboard is to:

  • create an event in Outlook Calendar using your Humber credentials
  • copy the meeting link and post in the Course Content area and Calendar in Blackboard
  • share link via an Announcement in Blackboard

A helpful step-by-step guide is available.

Important note: When we migrated to MS Teams for online classes in Summer 2023, we integrated a tool (MS Teams LTI) into Blackboard. Since that time, the MS Teams LTI has become increasingly unreliable. Blackboard no longer supports this LTI, and it will be removed from Blackboard in the near future.
