Set Up the MS Teams Integration as a Workspace Admin

Enable Fellow for MS Teams so all users can access it without leaving Teams

The MS Teams integration makes it easy to collaborate with your team and stay organized. You won't even need to leave the MS Teams app to use Fellow once the integration is connected!

This integration can be set up at two levels: user-level and workspace-level. User-level integration is configured by individual users for their personal accounts, while workspace-level integration is set up by administrators for the entire workspace.

We recommend Administrators of the MS Teams account set up the integration with Fellow prior to all other members connecting the integration. Once an Admin adds Fellow as an app, this will allow all teammates to access Fellow within Teams.

Workspace-level integration is recommended because it streamlines the setup process for teams and ensures all users in the workspace can access Fellow's features without individual configuration.

After the integration is connected, any newly created MS Teams meetings will automatically have a Fellow tab added. To add the Fellow tab to existing meetings, each user must log out and log back in to Fellow.

Connect MS Teams from Fellow Workspace Settings (Administrators)

This section focuses on workspace-level integration because it provides a unified experience for all users in the workspace.

When an admin grants permission to Fellow, all meetings created after that will have the Fellow tab automatically added to them. Meeting participants can then open Fellow from within the call by clicking on the Fellow icon inside the call (only available on Teams web app - Teams limitation).

This setup ensures that all users in the workspace benefit from the integration without needing to configure it individually.

1. Go into your Workspace settings and click Integrations.

2. Click on the MS Teams card and select Authorize.

3. Follow the authentication steps and sign in to your MS Teams admin account when prompted, and you will be asked to review and accept the permissions requested by Fellow

4. Once you are in your MS Teams account, add Fellow as an app, and this gives all members of the MS Teams workspace the ability to add a Fellow tab to any team, channel, or chat.

5. Once Fellow has been added as an app, all newly created meetings will automatically have the Fellow tab added in Teams

Note: To add the Fellow tab to existing meetings, each user must log out of Fellow and log in again with Microsoft.

Allow team members to add a Fellow tab in MS Teams

After connecting the integration, it is recommended that you enable the setting in MS Teams that allows members to add or remove tabs. This gives your team the ability to customize their own channels and chats and add Fellow wherever they need it.
