Students have the ability to schedule an online meeting with
instructors or classmates through the Email feature in MyFIRE. This tutorial
demonstrates how to schedule a Microsoft Teams meeting in MyFIRE.
1. When emailing classmates or instructors using
the Email tool in MyFIRE, select the quicklink icon in the MyFIRE Editor textbox.
2. A pop-up window will appear. Scroll down and
select MS Teams Meeting to schedule and add a link to the online meeting.
Microsoft Teams is a part of Office 365 which is available to all students and
employees. Students must accept a licence to have access to Microsoft Teams,
which they can request through the IT department.
3. Once MS Teams is selected, a pop-up window will
appear. Scroll down the window and select Sign In.
4. A pop-up window requesting permissions will
appear. Select Accept. This step will only need to be completed once.
5. Once the permissions window has closed, select Create meeting link at the bottom of the first pop-up window.
6. Name the meeting in the title field. The name of
the meeting will become the title of the MS Teams meeting link once it is
created. The MS Teams meeting link cannot be edited once it is created.
7. Add the desired start and end dates and times
for the meeting. The drop-down start time is only listed in 30-minute
increments. If starting an impromptu meeting, manually type the start time in
the start time field.
8. Select Create.
9. The pop-up window will refresh to confirm that
the meeting has been created. Scroll down to the bottom of the pop-up window
and select Meeting options.
10. A
new browser tab will open. Set the desired meeting options.
11. Then
select Save and close the browser tab.
12. Once
the meeting options have been saved, select Insert.
13. The
pop-up window will close and the MS Teams meeting link will be entered in the
MyFIRE editor textbox. The MS Teams meeting link cannot be edited.
14. Continue
customizing the email as desired with the meeting date, time, and any
additional details needed for the meeting.
