Compose a post to share to Microsoft Teams

2. Select the channels to host the shared content.
3. Click Post or Save to send the content to Teams.

How content is published to Microsoft Teams

Your post must be published inside of EveryoneSocial for it to show up in Microsoft Teams. If it’s been submitted for approval to a Group, then a moderator or admin must approve the post before it’s published.

Once your post has been published, it will share to the Microsoft Teams channels you selected during the creation process. Moderators and admins can also push the content to Slack while editing and approving the post.

The post will display the profile image of the person who shared the post to Teams, then it will display the EveryoneSocial post inside of a container, where your team can interact with it.

Interacting with Microsoft Teams posts

Channel members in the Teams channel the post was shared have the option to Share or View the post.

Share the post

Share goes to the content page, where the post can be shared to a person’s social networks. The post needs to be shareable for this option to present.

If they click Share, they will be brought to the Public Post Page. A person can share the post to selected social networks without logging in to EveryoneSocial.

Users logged in to EveryoneSocial can share the content with all the sharing options presented for your team, such as scheduling the share for later.

View the post

View goes to the post in EveryoneSocial, where they can comment, share externally, or like the post. If they are not part of your Workspace, then the View option functions as a link to the Public Post Page.
