This page reviews how to use the Microsoft Team integration in Ultra course.

# **Overview**

- The Microsoft Teams integration can only be enabled by users with the ‘Instructor’ role in HuskyCT.
- Enabling the Microsoft Teams integration creates a “Class Team” which offers teaching and learning tools that are not available in the standard Staff or Professional “Team”.
- Instructors need to periodically re-sync the HuskyCT-Teams roster to add or remove students from the Class Team who have added or dropped the course.
  - Instructors cannot manually remove students from the Class Team.
