How to join a live online session

Where do I find the joining links?

You’ll find the links to any Microsoft Teams sessions in your Blackboard course within the Microsoft Education portal.

How do I join a session?

Once your lecturer sets up a Teams Meeting in Blackboard, you’ll be able to access it through the page of your Blackboard Course. Go to Upcoming meetings and then Join:

This will open the Teams App. Set up your camera and microphone and click ‘Join now’.

You may also receive an Outlook Calendar invite to your University account, containing the joining link. Further information is available on the Blackboard Help for Students page: Getting started with Microsoft Teams
