Team meeting can be created directly in Moodle either through Calendar event or Activity in the course.

To create Teams meeting as an Activity

Teams meetings can be created using the Moodle Editor in almost every activity/resource (such as text and media area, Page, Forum, etc). In this example, we will setup an online class in Moodle.

In your Course, turn on 'Edit mode'. Under 'Activities', click 'Add an activity or resource'.
Choose 'Page' and the editor will be displayed
Type in a relevant name for the page, for example 'Online Class'.
In the Content section, click the purple Teams meeting button from the editor toolbar.
On the Create Teams meeting screen, in the embedded window, if prompted select 'Sign in' (you may have to scroll down to see the Sign in button).
If prompted, on the Permissions requested dialogue, click 'Accept'.
Select the 'Create meeting link' button.
Enter a meeting title, date, and time, then click 'Create'. The link will show in the field “Your meeting URL”. Mark “Open in a new window” if you want the meeting to open in a new tab.
Click 'Add link'. You will be returned to your content where there will now be a Teams meeting link inserted. You can continue to write other content as normal.
Click 'Save and display' or 'Save and return to course'.
