After creating a Team for your class in Microsoft Teams and add students as members, you can host video calls and group chat for class sessions and share files and links.
Membership is not updated as students add or drop your course. When course enrollment changes on Moodle, you will need to update your Team’s membership. Skip down to Add or remove students after the Team is created to learn how to do this.

Step-by-step instructions
Create a Team
Click Teams on the left to view Teams that you’ve created or belong to.
Click Join or create team, then create new team at the top right.
Select Class as the team type.
Enter a name and optional description for your class team, then select Next.
For example: CORE1024/INTG/05-2020/Fall/Full - Introduction to Illustration
During this step, you can also create a new team using an existing team as a template.
Add students and co-teachers
Navigate to the class team you'd like to add a student to, then click the three dots (More options) next to your class team.
Click Add member.
Select the Students tab.
Type in the name of the student(s) and click Add.
Next, click the Teachers tab and add co-teachers if needed using the same method. Once done, click Close.
Teachers and students added to the team will now be emailed with a link to the Team, and will be able to see it when they log into Teams.
Adding or removing members after the Team is created
If you need to add or remove members from your Team, click the three dots next to the Team name on the left and choose Manage team.
Here you can click Add members to add students or co-teachers, and click the X to the right of members to remove them.
Note the Teams terminology:
Owners = teachers
Members = students
