Add Offision to Microsoft Teams

You can run the full Offision app inside Microsoft Teams as a personal tab in the sidebar. From the Teams tab, you can book rooms, claim desks, invite visitors, submit service requests, and view your attendance using the same account and resources as the web browser app. Offision runs strictly as a personal tab; it is not a chat bot and does not join meetings.

1. Find and add Offision in Teams

In Microsoft Teams, select Apps in the sidebar and search for Offision.

Select Add to open Offision as a personal tab. Right-click the Offision icon in the sidebar and select Pin to keep it visible.

2. Sign in to your account

The first time you open the tab, sign in with your work email address (see Sign in to Offision). After you sign in once, the tab opens directly to your Offision home screen.

Deploy Offision to users in Teams (Administrators)

Allowing, installing, and pinning the app are three separate administrator actions in Microsoft Teams:

1. In the Teams admin center, go to Teams apps → Manage apps, find Offision, and set its status to Allowed for your target users.
2. Install the app for those users. If your tenant uses app-centric management, open Offision’s installation settings and select the target users or groups. If your tenant uses app setup policies, add Offision under Installed apps in the policy and assign it to the users.
3. Under Pinned apps in the app setup policy, add Offision so it appears in the Teams sidebar automatically. Pinning the app does not grant access or install it on its own.
4. Test with an account in the target group to confirm Offision opens in Teams and allows sign-in.

To deliver Teams activity feed notifications from Offision, a Microsoft 365 Global Administrator must also grant notification consent under Marketplace in Offision Admin, and recipients must have the Offision Teams app installed. If the tab opens but notifications do not arrive, verify both the Teams app installation and the Marketplace notification consent.

Once notifications are enabled, each user can mute specific notification categories in their Teams notification settings: Booking updates, Service request updates, Visitor updates, Support ticket updates, Attendance updates, and Offision notification.

Differences when using Offision inside Teams

• Location check-in is not supported: Microsoft Teams does not share device GPS coordinates with embedded tabs. If a room requires location check-in, open Offision in a web browser or use the Offision mobile app instead (see Check in by QR code and GPS).
• Teams presence status is not modified: Checking in, clocking in, or booking a space in Offision does not read or change your Teams chat status (Available, Away, or Do not disturb). Offision tracks office presence separately on the floor plan and attendance records (see See who is in the office).
• Navigation uses the top toolbar: The left sidebar menu is hidden inside Teams to save space. Use the page switcher in the top toolbar to navigate between pages and view unread notification badges.
• Theme follows Microsoft Teams: Offision automatically matches the light or dark theme selected in Teams.

Verify your setup

Open Offision in Microsoft Teams with an account included in the rollout, create a test booking, and confirm that it appears on your schedule. If expected Teams notifications do not arrive, verify the user’s Teams app installation, Offision Marketplace notification consent, and Teams notification settings.
