Microsoft Teams Setup

At the end of November 2024, Microsoft started rolling out the Third-party app API for Microsoft Teams v2 and above. While Teams v1 Classic is still being used, if you're unaware of the differences between v1 and v2, it's very likely that you are using Microsoft Teams v2 and this guide is for you.

Here's how to set it up with MuteDeck.

  1. Open the MuteDeck settings, turn on Enable Microsoft Teams v2 under Application Sync
  2. Open Teams for desktop
  3. Open Settings:
    1. Click the three dots (...) in the top right of Teams, then select Settings
    2. In the new window, click the Privacy menu item on the left
    3. Select Manage API under the Third-party app API section on the bottom
    4. Turn on the toggle next to Enable API
  4. Start a new meeting by going to Calendar, and clicking Meet Now
  5. Click the Start Pairing button in the MuteDeck window
  6. Accept the connection coming from MuteDeck in Microsoft Teams

Done! You can now use MuteDeck to control your Microsoft Teams meetings.

note

Note: Microsoft Teams isn't great with multiple third-party applications. If you're using issues and there is more than one app paired, try removing the other(s) before MuteDeck works.
