Thanks to Step 1, your Microsoft Teams is now linked to D2L/iLearn and a new team for your D2L/iLearn course has been automatically ceated in your Teams app.

• Your D2L/iLearn roster is automatically included in that course team.
• Your course team receives a general channel upon creation.

When creating an event in the course general channel, you will automatically be sending an invitation to all students in the class and providing them with your Teams meeting link for each class meeting.

Please follow the steps below to create a recurring class Teams meeting in your D2L/iLearn connected Teams channel.
