How to add a Microsoft Teams link to a Blackboard Ultra Calendar Event
Currently there is an issue when creating a Microsoft Teams event using the integration in Blackboard. The add to calendar button does not place the event in the course calendar or course outline page. Blackboard are aware of the issue and are working on a fix.
As a workaround, the Teams meeting URL can be copied and added as a calendar event and a link on the course page. Please see the guide below which demonstrates this.
Once you have set the time and date you will be presented with either of the two screens; âAdd to Calendarâ or âCopyâ.
Depending on which you see on your device, click on âAdd to Calendarâ or âCopyâ. The meeting URL will be copied to your clipboard.
To add the Teams meeting link as a calendar event in the module calendar. Go to calendar and click on the âplusâ symbol and select add event. Complete the event details with the title, time and date. Paste the Teams meeting URL in the location box and click on save. The Teams meeting link will now appear in the calendar.
Paste link in the location box and click on save.Â
To add the Teams meeting link to the course content, click on the ‘plus’ symbol and select create.
Select ‘Link’, paste the link in the Link URL box and adjust the visibility settings. Click on save.Â
