Microsoft Teams is getting a new LinkedIn integration that will give users access to colleagues’ profiles on the professional social networking site.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the company’s roadmap<\/a> for Microsoft 365, users will be able to see their colleagues’ LinkedIn profiles when in a one-on-one chat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Microsoft added the feature to the road map last week, and it will enter general availability in March.<\/p>\n

This addition follows enhancements to Microsoft Teams in public preview, including a compact chat<\/a> option that lets users select a view displaying more chat messages and the ability to promote invitees to co-organizers.<\/p>\n

Microsoft has been tying Teams more closely to its other products of late. It included tighter Teams integration with Windows 11 by displaying<\/a> Teams contacts directly on the Windows taskbar for Teams personal users.<\/p>\n

LinkedIn isn’t the only online service integrating with Teams. In November Microsoft also announced<\/a> an integration deal with Meta’s rival Workplace collaboration service. This will enable the two services exchange content with each other so that Teams video will live stream directly into Workplace groups.<\/p>\n

LinkedIn, which Microsoft acquired<\/a> in 2016, has not always been happy with people accessing its data. hiQ Labs sued<\/a> the professional social network, forcing it to allow access to its user-generated data. It won on appeal in 2019 but last year the Supreme Court vacated the decision, referring it once again to the ninth circuit court.<\/p>\n

Microsoft is also planning some other feature enhancements for Office 365, including easy access to Teams files from its OneDrive storage service. This update, which will be available in April<\/a>, will see the company add a ‘Your Teams’ section to OneDrive’s ‘More Places’ page.<\/p>\n
