LearnWorlds integrates with Microsoft Teams to enhance your course offerings with live sessions, leveraging the platform's popularity in business and education settings for seamless collaboration and video conferencing.
This article will walk you through the process of connecting your Microsoft Teams account.
Creating your Account
To use Microsoft Teams for live sessions within your school, ensure you have an active Microsoft Teams account with a business plan that includes Outlook. If you don’t already have a Microsoft Teams account, select a plan here. Please note that after creating a new business account, there may be a 24-hour activation period before you can proceed with the integration.
Once the account is set up, the organization’s admin must complete the initial installation into your school’s system. Follow the steps below to proceed.
