The process outlined below can be used to share a Teams meeting link with others. This method of link sharing may also be suitable for remote office hours as it allows a single meeting link to be used for several office hour time slots. Please note that sharing a link this way will not appear on the Teams calendar, but anyone you share the link with can access the meeting.
Creating a meeting link this way for remote lectures will prevent your students from being able to access the recordings. To schedule course lecture meetings, please use the class team that has been auto created for each of your courses. We’ve also created a guide for scheduling online meetings for lectures with your class team.
If you do not already have the Microsoft Teams application installed on your computer, please see this guide for download and installation instructions.
