Add ArcGIS for SharePoint to a Microsoft Teams channel

Administrators can add the ArcGIS for SharePoint app to an individual Microsoft Teams channel.

When you create a team in Microsoft Teams, a site collection is created in SharePoint with the same name as the team. Each channel created for that team becomes a folder in SharePoint that is part of its document library.

When you add the ArcGIS for SharePoint app to a Microsoft Teams channel, users of the channel can use ArcGIS mapping, geotagging, and geosearching capabilities in both Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Teams.

To add the ArcGIS for SharePoint app to a team for use in Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Teams, complete the following steps:

1. In the Microsoft Teams app, create a team.
2. Add the ArcGIS for SharePoint app:
   1. From Microsoft Teams, click the Add button to add a new tab to the team's folder.

      The Add a tab pane appears, showing all available applications that can be added to the channel.

   2. Click ArcGIS for SharePoint from the available applications.

      The ArcGIS interface appears, and ArcGIS for SharePoint becomes one of the menu options for the channel.

   You are prompted to sign in to your ArcGIS account.

   Tip:

   If you sign in to your ArcGIS account, check the Keep me signed in check box to remain signed in to your ArcGIS account when switching between tabs. Otherwise, you will be prompted to sign in to ArcGIS on each tab in the channel.

   You can now perform all standard mapping, geotagging, and geosearching capabilities in  ArcGIS for SharePoint from Microsoft SharePoint and  Microsoft Teams.

   From the ArcGIS for SharePoint menu, you can manage the map controls while the map is in edit mode.

   Caution:

   Dynamic data is available only to users of Microsoft SharePoint. It is not available in Microsoft Teams.
