Streaming Teams

Give your students and instructors the convenience of one place for all members of the Class to open their virtual classroom and all their Course Activities and labs. Deliver your instructor-led training virtually with Microsoft Teams within a Skillable TMS class.

Find your Teams meeting URL

Start by scheduling a meeting in Teams through the Calendar. You will need to add an attendee in order to have a link display for the meeting; this may be yourself or the class instructor. Once you have scheduled the meeting, open it from the calendar to access the meeting’s URL to input in the TMS class. Right-click on the Join Microsoft Teams Meeting link and choose Copy Link to obtain the URL provided within the meeting invitation. Using this will log your users in without needing to input a code to enter the meeting.

Enter your Teams URL in your Class

If you have used the Skillable TMS before for classes, then the only new element is adding Teams for your class’ delivery. If you have not set up a class before, you can find links to additional resources below.

1. Expand the Delivery section.
