Microsoft Launches Unified Education LTI

August 5, 2025

Microsoft Education has officially launched the public preview of its new Microsoft 365 LTI® tool, streamlining how faculty interact with Microsoft tools inside their Learning Management Systems (LMS). This update replaces the legacy Teams Meetings and Teams Classes LTI tools, which will be retired. Baylor will be replacing it with the new unified Microsoft 365 LTI tool on or around August 19, 2025. The new tool called Microsoft Education can be added to your course navigation menu.
