Aug. 30, 2023
Virtual Drop-in Hours for students are a popular way to increase attendance. Students can reach out to you without driving to campus or struggling to find your office. A good place to add a link is on the home page under instructor contact information.
Create a Teams Link
- Edit the home page and place your cursor where you want the link.
- Then click the Microsoft Teams Meeting link in the menu bar.
- You will be asked to sign into your Microsoft account by clicking the Sign in button.
- Then you can create a link by clicking the Create meeting link button.
- Enter a name for the meeting in the Name field. If desired, select a start date and time and end date and time. You DO NOT need to create a different day and time for each meeting. One link will work all semester.
- To create the meeting link, click the Create button.
- On the confirmation page, click the Copy button. You may need to scroll down a little to see the entire screen.
- The link will be added to your Canvas course in the location your cursor was flashing.
Tip: If you want students from all classes to enter one location for virtual drop-in hours, copy and paste the Teams meeting link to all your courses.
