Microsoft Teams will eventually include the ability to view a person’s LinkedIn profile in one-on-one chats. The functionality has been introduced in the Microsoft 365 roadmap. Microsoft may provide the capability for seeing LinkedIn profiles in Teams chats as early as March, although this isn’t a fixed deadline.
“Individuals may examine their coworkers’ LinkedIn profiles, In one-on-one chat. The LinkedIn profile may be accessed using the LinkedIn tab in the one-to-one chat panel “interprets the feature’s description on the Microsoft 365 roadmap.
The functionality will be accessible on Teams for the web and pc, according to the roadmap article.
Displaying an individual’s LinkedIn profile inside a chat ought to be beneficial in several ways. Users of Microsoft Teams, for instance, will recognize that the LinkedIn profile they’re viewing is for the individual with whom they’re communicating, rather than someone else with a similar name. LinkedIn profiles can also include important details, employment history, and connections to blog articles as well as other material.
Users may view LinkedIn profiles in Teams even if their LinkedIn and Microsoft accounts are not connected.
“However, if you integrate these accounts, you may learn more about a user in just about any one-on-one chat in Teams,” Microsoft that is known for products like SharePoint explained.
“Know everything you have in common with them, assess the level of your connection, and converse on LinkedIn without quitting Teams,” the corporation stated.
This enables information from a person’s Microsoft applications to be exchanged with LinkedIn in order to personalize the person’s LinkedIn experience. LinkedIn will import and save contacts but will not issue invitations unless the individual gives consent.
In Microsoft Teams, here’s how you can access LinkedIn:
- Launch Teams on your smartphone and access any one-on-one chat.
- Choose the LinkedIn tab to view the user’s employment history, talents, affiliations, and other information.
