Microsoft Teams for Blackboard
Microsoft has created an application that allows instructors to create a Teams meeting and share that with their students.
The Teams Meeting can be organized into an appropriate area of the course. You may want to consider a folder specific to meetings or sessions. If your course is organized by weeks or other sequence, you may want to place a meeting session into the correct place within that structure
