Moodle users can now quickly and easily add a new meeting link into ANY Moodle activity that uses the text editor. Simply click on the Microsoft Teams icon on the text editor to begin scheduling course meetings.
Integration Details
Moodle users with Microsoft accounts can create audio and video conference calls (meetings) using the Atto Teams Meetings plugin for Moodle, for free (Microsoft Teams is included in Office 365 A1, which is free for educational institutions). The plugin provides an easy way to create a Microsoft Teams Meeting from within the Atto Editor wherever it’s available, for example: calendar events, forum posts, pages, or assignments.
It’s important to note that it will not display the events in Microsoft Teams Calendar, but you can add the link to Moodle calendar events.
