Guide - How to create and send a Microsoft Teams invite for students or externals?
Microsoft Teams can be used to invite students and externals to 1:1 or a group meeting.
We recommend you follow the guides below when you create a meeting link:

Guide for attendees – please send the link (for the guide below) to the students or externals. They will not be required to download the Teams app or log in to Teams.
Microsoft Teams integration with Blackboard
Blackboard has basic integration with MS Teams.
The integration allows instructors to create a Teams meeting link and is made available to all enrolled users on the course to join the meeting via the link.
Please note, this will not create a calendar entry on your Outlook or MS Teams Calendar. Students will also not get an invite via email; it only creates the meeting link on your Course/module site, Module Calendar, and also on the Stream for students to join the session, by just clicking on the link.
Please see guides below, on how to create an MS Teams meeting link on your Blackboard site:
