Using Zoom/Teams meetings in the Classroom

Using Zoom with Moodle

TCM has transitioned from Zoom to Microsoft Teams, as part of the general transition to Microsoft services. Teams should be exclusively used for scheduling and participating in all online meetings.

Using Teams with Moodle

You can easily add a Teams meeting to Moodle, using your course activity chooser. You can follow this step-by-step guide to add a meeting to your course.

Step 1: Turn on editing for your course

Step 2: Click add an activity or resource

Go to the Moodle section where you want to add a Teams meeting and click “Add an activity or resource”, located at the bottom of each section.

Step 3: Click Teams Meeting in the Activity Chooser

Step 4: Give your meeting a meaningful title and description

Step 5: Set the time and date for your meeting.

The time shown is for your timezone.

Step 6: Allow participants to join anytime

If you decide to enable the waiting room instead, you will have to admit each participant.

Do not change any of the other settings or your students may not be able to get into the meeting.

Step 7: Enable Host and Participant Video

Click save and return to course when you are done setting up the meeting.

Step 8: View your meeting details

Review your meeting by clicking your meeting link to make sure it was added to the correct Moodle section and that all of the details are correct.
