How to add multiple/all students as attendees to a Teams Meeting invite.
Need to add multiple students or all students on a module to a Teams Meeting? You can use the ‘Add entire class’ function to invite all students to a Teams Meeting. This will add all students and instructors to the Attendees list.
Selecting Allow anyone in the course to join means that whilst a meeting may not be added to an individuals calendar, they can still see and access this on the Upcoming meetings link. This might be useful for some scanarios where students need to attend an alternate seminar for example.
This guidance: Inviting multiple or all students on an Ultra Course to a Teams Meeting explains how you can download a list of student email addresses from RISIS and paste into a Teams Meeting invite if this step does not work.
Adding students as required attendees adds the meeting to their University student Outlook calendar.
