Microsoft Teams app
Send content to your displays without logging into Lumicast. Synchronise important messages across your displays — the app shows messages as well as images posted in them.
Prerequisites
To give Lumicast permission to read your Teams channel messages, your Microsoft administrator must approve the Lumicast app. Without this, connecting your Microsoft account will not work.
The Microsoft admin of your organisation has to open the following consent screen and approve the Lumicast app. The screen explains exactly what Lumicast is allowed to do on behalf of users who connect their account:
Microsoft admin consent for Lumicast
