Microsoft Teams install

Available from the dashboard. Start in Channels → Microsoft Teams. One action sends your Microsoft administrator through the organization connection and any required channel-file approval, then returns to Monroe. The personal app is installed automatically when Microsoft policy allows it.

Teams setup has two distinct parts: an administrator connects the Microsoft tenant and approves channel-file access once, then a team owner adds Monroe to each team or channel where it should work. A personal install does not silently count as a channel install.

Step 1: Connect Microsoft Teams

Open the dashboard and go to Channels → Microsoft Teams. Choose Connect. Sign in with a work or school account. A clean tenant needs a Global Administrator or Privileged Role Administrator because Monroe returns files through the team's SharePoint library; Microsoft shows that approval inside the same browser flow. An organization that already approved Monroe skips the extra screen. Because the connect starts from your signed-in dashboard, Monroe binds the tenant to your workspace automatically. Nothing is pasted by hand and nothing is sent through a chat message.

Step 2: Add Monroe in Teams

After Step 1, the dashboard reports the personal app and team/channel state separately. Add Monroe to the Teams chat, channel, or team where you want it to work, using your organization's Teams app catalog. Once Monroe is added, it introduces itself in that conversation and suggests the first task you picked during setup, ready to send. From there, message it directly or mention it in a channel.

How Monroe responds in Teams

Monroe responds to every direct message. In group chats and channels, mention Monroe before the task so ordinary channel chatter stays quiet. Files in personal chats use Microsoft's per-file consent; completed files in channels are written to the channel's SharePoint library after the one-time administrator approval.

Capability coverage vs Slack

The Teams surface targets the same core workflow as Slack: direct messages, channel replies, approval-gated work, conversation memory, and every run logged back to your Monroe dashboard. Some new collaboration features may still ship Slack-first while Teams support catches up.

Troubleshooting

• Sign-in did not complete. Reopen Channels → Microsoft Teams and choose Connect again; the connect link is single-use and expires after 15 minutes.
• Wrong account. Sign in with a work or school account that belongs to the Microsoft organization you want to connect, not a personal account.
• Administrator approval stopped. Channel files require a Global Administrator or Privileged Role Administrator to approve Microsoft Graph application access once.
• Personal app installed, no channel response. Open Monroe in Teams and add it to that team or channel; Microsoft treats personal and team installs separately.
• App not available. Your Teams admin must allow the Monroe Store app. Before Store certification, the organization must upload the package to its app catalog.
• Multi-tenant orgs. Each Microsoft tenant connects to one Monroe workspace; connect each from the workspace that should own it.
