Embedding Boards in Microsoft Teams
You can embed a Conceptboard board in MS Teams channels, chats, calls or meetings, and in calendar events by adding them as new tabs.
1. Find Conceptboard in the app list and select it.
2. First, you will be prompted to log in into Conceptboard:
3. Once you are logged in, you will see a board search field that allows you to select any board that is shared with your Conceptboard account. You can create a new board or choose an existing one to save as a tab in MS Teams.
4. You can set the board sharing settings from the board share dialog, and choose the default access role for all your collaborators:
5. Once the board is embedded, your channel participants can start interacting with the board right away. They will see the board welcome page and will be able to login or enter as guests (depending on the access setting you have set for the board).
Requesting Board Access
If you prefer to share your boards with the access setting "Specific Users", you can use board access requests to grant channel users access to the board.
Once a board is embedded in a MS Teams tab, channel users can log in into Conceptboard. They will see the option to request board access. In this setting, they can collaborate on the board only after your approval.
Uninstalling the App
Conceptboard app can be uninstalled in Microsoft Teams by clicking on "Manage team" in its sub-tab "Apps." You can uninstall the app either for yourself or for the team as a whole if you are an administrator.
