The Microsoft Teams meetings Blackboard integration allows instructors to schedule and link meetings in Blackboard course shells.

Please note: The Microsoft Teams meeting integration for Blackboard does not create a Microsoft Team for your class to facilitate file sharing and the collaborative use of other Microsoft tools. Creating meetings with the integration does not work in Safari. Instructors must use Edge, Chrome, or Firefox, to create and launch sessions. Session recordings are not accessible to students or instructors in Blackboard and must be manually added to your course from OneDrive.
