Create a Microsoft Teams meeting from a classroom slot

  • Updated

You can create Microsoft Teams meetings for classroom slots in one click, from the session settings.

Activate the Microsoft Teams integration

Contact your Customer Success Partner, Account Manager, or Solution Architect to activate the Microsoft Teams integration.

Authorize access to your Microsoft Teams account

Once the Microsoft Teams integration is activated on a group you belong to, you need to authorize 360Learning to access your Microsoft account.

  1. Open the settings of a session containing a virtual classroom slot.
  2. Scroll down to the classroom slot.
  3. Set the Classroom slot as Virtual.
  4. Select Microsoft Teams as Webinar provider in the dropdown menu.
  5. Click on the Microsoft Teams button.
  6. Enter your credentials.
  7. Click Accept on the consent prompt.

You only need to perform this once. You are now ready to create Microsoft Teams meetings in one click.

Add a Microsoft Teams meeting to a virtual classroom slot

Once the Microsoft Teams integration is activated on a group you belong to, and you have authorized 360Learning, you can add Microsoft Teams meetings in one click.

  1. Open the settings of a session containing a virtual classroom slot.
  2. Scroll down to the Classroom slot
  3. In Location, on the right, click CREATE MICROSOFT TEAMS MEETING.
    The URL of the Microsoft Teams meeting is automatically added.

The meeting organizer is the user who clicked CREATE MICROSOFT TEAMS MEETING. You cannot change the meeting organizer through the 360Learning platform.

Change the attendance threshold

When attendance is synced from Microsoft Teams, learners are marked as attended if they were in the meeting for at least the attendance threshold, as a percentage of how long the meeting actually lasted. Otherwise, they are marked as absent. For example, with the default threshold of 50%, learners must attend at least 1 hour of a meeting that lasted 2 hours.

Admins can change the default threshold in the Microsoft Teams integration screen. The new default applies to slots created afterwards in the group where the integration is installed. Slots in other groups use 50%.

Users who can edit a classroom slot can also change the threshold of that slot.
