MS Teams Plugin
Credit (Adam Farrugia): Hi all, just wondering if anyone else utilises the MS Teams plug in to create Teams meetings within there moodle. We are using it successfully to create meetings rooms for our students but just having an issue with the created meeting appearing in our MS Teams Calendar and Outlook Calendar. I am assuming this might be a settings issue from our Office 365 accounts but just wondering if anyone has experienced a similar issue with Moodle integration?

Credit (Greg Bird): I too would be interested in this. Has anyone got this to work well for them? Do you have to use o365 Auth exclusively, for it to work?
I know of a number of organisations that have tried, fairly unsuccessfully, to integrate teams into Moodle. Advice at the time was the Office365 plugin suite for Moodle was not stable and poorly maintained by Microsoft.

Credit (Adam Farrugia):Thanks Greg, currently we are successfully creating meetings using the integration all within the announcements forums, so the morning of a class post an announcement with the link and it works quite well. The only issue I cant resolve is that the meeting does not then appear in my Teams or Outlook calendar even though it was created with my account. I can only access the meeting or settings for that meeting through the link I created in announcements.

Credit (Cristian Duque): I brought this issue with the team, and we agree that it would be a nice feature, but to our knowledge this is not something you can do with the MS 360 plugin nor the text icon (on the Atto toolbar). You would have to add the event manually on your calendar and invite whoever you want to join.
I understand you can add events on the calendar if you create them directly from MS Teams, but I don't believe you can add an existing meeting in a Moodle course. (Maybe I'm wrong.)
In any case, you can always get someome from our support team to look into your settings. Just click on the "Client Support" link at the top of this site.
Hope this helps!0 -
Credit (Adam Farrugia): thanks Cris for the response, that saves me trying to dig any deeper to find solutions. We can still work with it in its current form, but it would be nice in the future if the capability was available.

Hello, I just wanted to add an update that Microsoft has released a Teams Meeting LTI that works well. It does require the full MS 365 integration to be set-up and to create a Team for the Moodle course, which can be a bit of a lift on the Azure/internal IT side of the integration. Once set-up though, it allows instructors to easily create one off or recurring Teams meetings for their courses that both display in the course and show on course members calendars.
