You can enjoy your Jint Digital Workplace directly within Teams, eliminating boundaries between your tools, making navigation smooth and efficient, and allowing your employees to access all the information they need to work.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

• A SharePoint Administrator (or Global Administrator) access on your Microsoft 365 tenant
• A Teams Administrator access for app deployment
• Your Jint Digital Workplace already deployed and configured on your SharePoint site (see the article Jint SharePoint - Prerequisites and Installation on Tenant)
• The SharePoint site you want to display in Teams must be set as the Home Site or main communication site

1. Prepare Your Digital Workplace in SharePoint

Before integrating it into Teams, your Digital Workplace must be finalized in SharePoint:

1. Verify that your site is properly configured and that the Jint components used display correctly
2. Define the name of the app that will appear in Teams
3. Prepare a square logo and a silhouette logo (PNG format, transparent background), compliant with Microsoft requirements for Teams app icons

2. Create the Teams App from Your SharePoint Site

Microsoft now recommends using the Viva Connections template to display a SharePoint site as a personal app in Teams. This method replaces the old PnP PowerShell cmdlet Publish-PnPCompanyApp, which is now deprecated and no longer maintained.

To set up this integration, follow the official Microsoft guide: Set up Viva Connections

This guide walks you through:

• Creating the Teams app package associated with your SharePoint home site
• Configuring the global navigation bar and news feed that will display in Teams
• Generating the app manifest with your name, logo, and the URL of your Digital Workplace

3. Publish the App in the Teams Catalog

Once the app package is generated:

1. Sign in to the Teams Admin Center
2. Go to Manage apps
3. Import the app package generated in the previous step
4. Review the displayed information (name, description, icons) before confirming

4. Make the App Available to Your Users

Still from the Teams Admin Center:

1. Select the newly imported app
2. Allow it for the relevant users or groups via app permission policies
3. If you want it to be visible by default to everyone, add it to an app setup policy and pin it in the Teams sidebar

Deployment can take up to 24 hours to propagate to all users.
