OfficeTogether integrates with Microsoft Teams so your company can use all of the web portal functionality as well as Notification Activity inside Teams.
Add OfficeTogether from Teams App Store
You can access the OfficeTogether app by going to the Microsoft Teams App store and searching for ‘OfficeTogether’, or you can use this link to navigate directly. This will offer you the ability to add yourself (or your organization if you have administrative rights) to the OfficeTogether app.
Microsoft Teams or Personal Sign-In to OfficeTogether
Once you’re ready to sign into the application, you can choose between the traditional Email address and Password fields, or if your company has Single Sign-On configured, you can use the ‘Sign in with Teams’ link.
Using OfficeTogether from Microsoft Teams
All of the functionality of the OfficeTogether platform is available to you from the Teams app. You will see the Home dashboard page after sign-in, as well as the OfficeTogether navigation down the left-hand column.
In addition to the Home option of Teams, OfficeTogether also uses the Activity tab to deliver health check information (if you utilize health checks) and send the Weekly Digest on Fridays.
The addition of OfficeTogether inside your Teams application creates a smooth workflow for staff and administrators.
