Install Appspace on Microsoft Teams

This article provides Employees (users) with instructions to install the Appspace on Microsoft Teams.

Introduction

Appspace can be accessed directly from Microsoft Teams, allowing employees to use the Appspace Employee View without leaving Microsoft Teams. Employees can access the functionality available in the Appspace Employee View, such as news feeds, quick posts, space reservations, maps, and links to third-party apps, depending on the organization's configuration.

The Appspace Employee App in Microsoft Teams works alongside other integrations, including publishing Appspace content to Microsoft Teams channels and chats, and configuring Microsoft Teams as an enterprise messaging notification channel. For information about these integrations, see Use Appspace with Microsoft Teams.

Security and Scope

Your privacy is very important to us. To this end, Appspace is committed to protecting the confidentiality and security of your communications.

• We never store your login informationDuring the account authentication process, you will be asked to enter your credentials for your Microsoft Teams account. However, Appspace will not store those credentials. Instead, Appspace will receive an API token, which it will use for future communications.
• We request granular access to your organizationAppspace does not request broad permissions to your organization. The integration only has the permissions required to perform its operation, which is to post content from the Appspace console into the Microsoft Teams spaces/channels/chats.
• One way communication protects the privacy of your dataAppspace is unable to see any messages in a channel/space/chat that are not directed to it, and can only see the messages shared via Appspace.
