Microsoft Teams video conferencing activation guide

Last updated: 8 months ago

As a product settings admin in LinkedIn Recruiter, you can enable the Microsoft Teams video conferencing integration for your contract once you’ve enabled your contract’s email and calendar integrations. Once you authorize Microsoft Teams, recruiters on your contract with their calendar integrations authorized can send candidates an InMail with a link to their calendar with the option to select Microsoft Teams as their meeting type, allowing candidates to check availability and choose a time for a Microsoft Teams video meeting. For more detailed information on technical integrations or security, see Video Conferencing Integrations Admin FAQ and Data and privacy for video conferencing integrations FAQ.
