What Can I Use It For?

Microsoft Teams Meetings sessions can be used for online/remote course delivery. This allows instructors to quickly enable remote learning for students by creating an audio or video meeting.  Advantages of using MS Teams Meetings:

  • Integrated with Microsoft 365 – Seamless access for you and students; works with Outlook, OneDrive, and shared files.
  • Remote/Hybrid Teaching- Supports video, screen sharing, breakout rooms, and guest speakers.
  • Centralized Communication – Meeting links, chat, and resources stay organized in one location.
  • Classroom Management Tools – Control presenting, manage chat, and structure small-group work.
  • Easy Recording & Sharing- Record sessions automatically and provide accessible playback for students.
Special Notes

Quercus-MS Teams Meetings integration ending– September 15, 2025

What is changing: Starting September 15, 2025, it will no longer be possible to create NEW Microsoft Teams Meetings directly within Quercus courses.

Why is this change happening? Microsoft is ending support for their existing Teams Meetings Quercus integration.

What about my existing meetings? Any Teams Meetings that have already been created in Quercus will continue to work exactly as they do now.

Where are my alternative options? See the Instructions section below for alternate options to schedule virtual meetings in your course.

Will the MS Teams Quercus integration tool work again in the future? Work is in progress to add a replacement Quercus integration for MS Teams Meetings. Please check back here for updates.

Where can I get support?  We’re here to help. Contact q.help@utoronto.ca; we can walk through how to create MS Teams meeting in Outlook or even discuss switching to a different virtual meeting tool option.
