Using ThingLink with Microsoft

If your organization uses Microsoft's products, ThingLink has a number of integrations designed to improve your experience. This article is a hub for all available integrations - check out the links to learn more about each of them.

Microsoft Single Sign-on (SSO)

If you are using Office 365 or Azure Active Directory, you can enable Microsoft SSO option. Once enabled, all members of your Office tenancy will automatically join your ThingLink organization when signing in with Microsoft. For educational institutions, we'll also automatically differentiate between student and teacher accounts.

Availability:

• Educational accounts: School & District plan
• eLearning accounts: all paid eLearning plans

Use ThingLink inside Microsoft Teams

ThingLink has a special app that allows you to use our service without leaving the Teams environment - you can even keep your ThingLinks interactive inside Teams chats. Learn more here.

Availability: the ThingLink Teams app is available to everyone. However, the functionality may vary depending on your account type and subscription plan.

Host your ThingLink content on your own Azure storage

If you wish to have more control over your data, you can choose to host most of your organization's ThingLink data on your own Azure storage. Please see this article for detailed information.

Availability: this feature is an add-on for School & District and eLearning plans. If you are interested, please reach out to your ThingLink point of contact or submit a support request.
