Pin the HoorayHR app in Microsoft Teams

Pin the HoorayHR app in Microsoft Teams and HoorayHR shows up in all your colleagues' Teams sidebar. The app is then already installed for them, so they don't have to look for it under Apps when they want to record a meeting or review. This article is for the person who manages Microsoft Teams at your company.

What you need

You need admin rights in Microsoft Teams to pin the app. Not an admin? Forward this article to the person who manages Microsoft Teams at your company.

Pin the HoorayHR app for all your colleagues

  1. In the Microsoft Teams admin center, go to Teams apps > Manage apps. Search for HoorayHR and set its status to Allowed.

  2. Go to Teams apps > Setup policies and open Global (Org-wide default). This policy applies to the whole organisation.

  3. Add HoorayHR under Installed apps. This installs the app for all your colleagues.

  4. Also add HoorayHR under Pinned apps. This puts the app in their sidebar.

  5. Click Save. It can take a few hours before all your colleagues see the app.

Note: pinning doesn't open the app automatically during a meeting. Your colleagues open the HoorayHR app themselves when they want to record a meeting. Microsoft Teams has no setting that opens an app automatically in every meeting.

Test with a small group first

Want to pin the app for a few colleagues first? In step 2, create a new setup policy instead of opening Global (Org-wide default), and assign that policy to those colleagues. Steps 3 to 5 stay the same.
