Collection: Microsoft Teams – Knowledge Base

Summary

Create MS Teams meetings and link them to Instructor Led Training (ILT) sessions on LearnUpon.

Availability: all customers who use MS Teams meetings

Overview

Microsoft Teams is a persistent chat-based collaboration platform which supports document sharing and online meetings.

LearnUpon's integration is available for MS Teams meetings, but not MS Teams live events. It is available for MS Teams SaaS, but is not for sale as an on-premise deployment.

Note: The MS Teams integration option only appears when accessing LearnUpon via your .learnupon.com address. You can't set up the initial connection while accessing your portal via your white-label address.

After you make the initial connection from the .learnupon.com address, you can create and manage MS Teams meetings from either .learnupon.com or your custom URL.

Your initial setup between MS Teams and LearnUpon requires:

a Microsoft Global Admin account: to assign organization-wide permissions from the start
setting up and consenting to terms from the LearnUpon interface, rather than from Microsoft Azure

You don’t need an MS Global Admin account to set up every ILT session - only to set up the initial connection between Microsoft and LearnUpon.

Note: LearnUpon recommends you use the LearnUpon interface to manage consent for MS Teams for this integration, rather than the MS Azure Active Directory.

Microsoft recommends that every client set up at least one Global Admin account for their organization: you need Global Admin access to authorize your entire organization. See Microsoft's article Permissions and consent in the Microsoft identity platform. LearnUpon is not responsible for content outside its own website.

The Microsoft Global Admin must agree to allow certain permissions to LearnUpon. See: MS Teams: permissions required by LearnUpon to integrate with MS Teams.

At least one user with a Microsoft account is required to start a meeting using MS Teams. An MS Teams meeting begins as soon as at least one attendee with a Microsoft account connects to the meeting.

LearnUpon's integration provides access to your meeting from 15 minutes before the start time, to 15 minutes after the end time.
