Install ArcGIS for Teams

You can install ArcGIS for Teams from the Microsoft AppSource to a personal (private) scope or to a selected team, chat, or meeting channel. You can also install a single content instance in an active channel, either as a content tab or a Live Share tab.

The best practice is to install ArcGIS for Teams in a channel from the Microsoft AppSource first, even if you also want to create a single content tab or Live Share tab later.

Note:

Before you can install ArcGIS for Teams, your IT administrator may need to manage apps in the Microsoft Teams admin center to make ArcGIS for Teams available to your organization.

Tip:

Confirm that you have permission from the channel owner to add ArcGIS for Teams to the selected location.
