Installation Types
The Teamgage Microsoft Teams app can be installed in two ways:
- Personally: This allows the user who installed the app to receive their regular Teamgage notifications directly to their MS Teams chat inbox.
- Within a channel: Has the same effect as installing the app personally, but for all members of a Teams channel. Think of it as a "bulk install" for all users in the channel.
Important: Even if a user has the Teamgage app for Microsoft Teams installed, they will not receive any notifications unless they are also a user of Teamgage. For example, if you have a mixture of Teamgage users and non-Teamgage users in the same Teams channel, you can safely install the app for the whole channel, as only the ones who are Teamgage users will receive notifications.
Finding the Teamgage app on the MS Teams app store
1. Search for Teamgage in the Microsoft Teams app store
