Install the Teams tab (for tenant admins)

TaskTree can run as a tab inside Microsoft Teams, so your team reaches it without leaving Teams. This page is for Teams tenant administrators — installing the app is an admin action.

Not yet available

The Teams tab is built and packaged but not rolled out yet — it's planned for after the current pilot. The steps below describe what installation will look like once it's enabled. Until then, use TaskTree in the browser.

What you'll need

  • Teams Administrator rights in your tenant.
  • The TaskTree app package (a .zip), provided by whoever runs TaskTree for your organisation.

The high-level flow

  1. Upload the app. In the Teams admin centre, go to Teams apps → Manage apps → Upload new app and select the TaskTree package.
  2. Approve it. Set the app's status to Allowed so people in your tenant can add it. Optionally publish it to your org's app store so it's easy to find.
  3. Add the tab (any user, once the app is allowed). In a Teams channel, click + to add a tab, search for TaskTree, and select it.
  4. Pick a project. The tab's configuration page lists the projects you can see; choose one and click Save.
  5. Done. The tab is pinned, and opening it later goes straight to that project.

Signing in is handled automatically through your organisation's Microsoft account — there's no separate TaskTree login.

Full procedure

The detailed, step-by-step install runbook — including the exact admin-centre paths and the app package details — is maintained for whoever operates TaskTree, in the internal docs/internal/teams-install.md notes. Ask them for it when Teams rollout is scheduled.
