If you want to set up a Teams meeting with multiple students not in a class group
Solution:
You will need a list of all their email addresses
If you have a list of student IDs you can use excel to generate the email addresses, using the formula below, where the student ID is column A (copy the formula to cell B1 then copy it down the list of students)
=CONCAT(A1,"@student.runshaw.ac.uk")
You can then use Outlook or webmail to create the meeting.

From Webmail:
Go to your calendar

Information For Students Joining
If a student already has teams installed or the teams web site open (https://teams.microsoft.com) then they can join the meeting by clicking on the Join link in the calendar item in Teams.
The student can use the Join Meeting link from their Outlook calendar & it will then give them the options to continue in the browser, open the app or install the app. However please note that Internet Explorer will not give the browser option.
