Microsoft Teams Class for Canvas Course

Microsoft Teams is a secure, cloud-based chat and group collaborative workspace that integrates with Canvas course rosters. The Microsoft Teams integration (also called Class Teams or Microsoft Teams classes) is available for any Canvas course and allows instructors to create a team to chat and collaborate with their students. 

When enabled in a Canvas course, a team is automatically created and all of the students are added as team members. The team will automatically update membership each time a student is added or dropped from the course. 

PLEASE NOTE: 

  • Microsoft Teams includes options for Assignments and Grades. These features are not connected to Canvas assignments and grades in any way. 
  • While additional Northwestern users may be added to a team, only people with a valid NetID will have access to the Northwestern instance of Teams in Canvas.
