Use Microsoft Teams meetings in your LMS

Notes: 

The Meetings app that is part of the Microsoft Education LTI tools available in the Microsoft 365 LTI helps educators and students easily create and join Teams meetings from within their LMS course. Users can view past & upcoming meetings, schedule individual or recurring meetings, and join the Teams meetings related to their courses all from within their LMS. Follow the steps to enable Microsoft Teams meetings in your LMS courses using the Microsoft Education Meetings app.

Refer the Learning Management Systems (LMS) Integrations guide to learn how to access the Microsoft Education applications dashboard in your LMS.
