Prerequisites​

To enable the Microsoft Teams status synchronization feature, you need:

  • A Microsoft Azure account.
  • A WorkAdventure world configured with OpenID Connect SSO pointing to your Microsoft Azure account.
Setting up an OpenID Connect SSO with Microsoft Azure

Refer to the OpenID Connect SSO documentation to configure Azure (Entra ID) as an OpenID Connect provider.

Enable Teams Status Synchronization​

The Microsoft Teams status synchronization feature allows seamless communication of your availability across both platforms.

When you are in a Microsoft Teams meeting or call, your status automatically updates to 'busy' in WorkAdventure, and vice versa. This ensures your colleagues are aware of your availability, regardless of the application you are using.

caution

To enable this feature, you must first configure an OpenID Connect SSO on Microsoft Azure with the "Presence Read/Write" permission on your world.

This feature works only with Microsoft Teams Work or School accounts.

Follow these steps to enable the status synchronization:

  1. Navigate to the Authentication section of the WorkAdventure dashboard.
  2. In the Microsoft OpenID provider configuration page, a Microsoft Configuration section is available.
  3. Simply check the Microsoft Teams Status Synchronization option to enable status synchronization on all maps in this world.
caution

The checkbox is only visible if the provider's base URL is starting with "https://login.microsoftonline.com". If you are using a custom provider URL, please contact us to configure this part.
