Now the meeting link will appear for students in the description of Calendar events, Assignments, Forums posts, or wherever else in Moodle that uses Atto Editor.

Installation instructions

  • Download the plugin and extract into lib/editor/atto/plugins/teamsmeeting.
  • Install like any other Moodle plugin (ie via visiting as admin <moodle_url>/admin/index.php?cache=1).
Instructions if plugin does not work on Chrome (you are redirected to login page):

The issue happens due to Chrome requirement to have secure cookies and the change of the default value of samesite cookie setting.

To solve this, there are a few things that you can check:

  1. What PHP version is your Moodle instance using? If it is < 7.3, then the Moodle core code change is needed. The patch for this code change can be now downloaded together with the latest plugin release. You will find it in the patch folder.

  1. Is HTTPS enabled on your Moodle instance? HTTPS is a must for plugin to work in latest Chrome versions.

  2. Is option "cookiesecure" enabled in your Moodle config (Administration -> Security -> HTTP security)?

  3. Make sure you have the latest plugin code deployed.

Instructions if you get 404 error on creating Teams meeting link

This issue is normally happens on IIS web server, when the query string in the URL after success event creation is longer than the IIS server configured allowed query string length. The query string contains a lot of information can be longer than 5,000 characters. Updating the server configuration to be larger number solves the issue.
