Microsoft Teams (MS Teams) is a collaboration app allowing users to chat and video call. In TalentLMS, you can use MS Teams for Conferences and Instructor-Led Training (ILT) units.

To integrate your portal with MS Teams: 

Step 1: Select a default video conferencing platform (as Administrator)

First, set MS Teams as your preferred conference medium.

Here's how:

1. Sign in to your TalentLMS account as Administrator and go to Home > Account & Settings > Integrations (1).

2. Under the Web Conferencing section, locate Microsoft Teams and select the cog wheel (2).

3. Click the switch (3) to enable it.

4. Set the maximum capacity (4) for your conferences and ILTs, ensuring that it is supported by your MS Teams subscription plan. If you leave it at 0, the default MS Teams capacity (100) is applied.

5. Click Save (5) for the changes to take effect.

Step 2: Connect your MS Teams account to TalentLMS (as Instructor)

Once you have set MS Teams as your preferred conference tool, each Administrator or Instructor will have to connect their own MS Teams account by following the steps below:

1. Hover over your profile name at the top right-hand corner and select My profile (1).

2. Scroll down to the bottom, and under Conference integration tool, select Connect with Microsoft Teams (2).

3. You will be redirected to a Microsoft page, where you must enter your Microsoft account email address (3) and click Next (4).

4. Enter your password and click Sign in (5).

Note: You may choose to sign in using any other sign-in option. Depending on your account security settings, you might be asked to authenticate using your 2FA method of choice. If your account is a member of your organization’s Microsoft directory, the domain administrator might have to authorize TalentLMS to access your MS Teams account.

Afterwards, you may be asked to allow TalentLMS some permissions to your MS Teams account. Please click on Accept (7) after reading the message.

If the process is successful, you will be redirected to your profile page again and see a message that the connection has been established (8).

You will then have the option to update your MS Teams account if needed, such as to change your account credentials.
