Enabling Microsoft Teams

Enabling Microsoft Teams

This page reviews how to use the Microsoft Team integration in Ultra course.

Overview

  • The Microsoft Teams integration can only be enabled by users with the ‘Instructor’ role in HuskyCT.

  • Enabling the Microsoft Teams integration creates a “Class Team” which offers teaching and learning tools that are not available in the standard Staff or Professional “Team”.

  • Instructors need to periodically re-sync the HuskyCT-Teams roster to add or remove students from the Class Team who have added or dropped the course.

    • Instructors cannot manually remove students from the Class Team.


Enabling Microsoft Teams

  1. At the bottom of the Details and Actions right-side menu, click Open Microsoft Education. If you have not yet integrated Microsoft Education with your HuskyCT course, follow the instructions here.
