Use LinkedIn in Teams

It’s easy to view a person’s LinkedIn profile directly in Teams. When you go to any one-on-one chat, you can quickly see that person’s experience, education, skills, and more. You can also expand your LinkedIn network and connect with people on LinkedIn without leaving Teams. 

Note: Your organization needs to enable the LinkedIn integration in Teams for you to access it. When your organization enables the LinkedIn integration, you can access LinkedIn in Outlook too.  

  1. In Teams, go to any one-on-one chat and click the LinkedIn tab.

Connect your LinkedIn and Microsoft accounts

You can access LinkedIn profiles in Teams without connecting your LinkedIn and Microsoft accounts. But if you choose to connect these accounts, you can discover more about a person in any one-on-one chat in Teams. Find out what you have in common with them, see your degrees of connection, and connect on LinkedIn without leaving Teams.

    This allows data from your Microsoft apps to be shared with LinkedIn to customize your LinkedIn experience. LinkedIn will import and store your contacts but won’t send invites without your permission.
