Installing the Focus Compliance Recorder app

This guide is for Microsoft Teams administrators. It takes you through adding the Focus Compliance Recorder app to Teams, choosing who gets it, and pinning it so it's ready for your users without them having to look for it.

Teams store listing on its way

The app is awaiting Microsoft's approval for the Teams store. In the meantime, you can install it yourself in the Teams admin center using the app package we provide, and push it out to your users. That's what this guide covers.

Before you start

You'll need:

• Access to the Microsoft Teams admin center with permission to manage apps, such as the Teams Administrator or Global Administrator role.
• The app package from Subphonic, focus-teams-app.zip. Upload it as it is, without unzipping it.

There are three stages:

1. Upload the app
2. Choose who can use it
3. Pin it for your users (recommended)

1. Upload the app

Upload the app

Add the Focus Compliance Recorder app package to your organisation's apps.

Step 1 of 5

2. Choose who can use it

Next, install the app for the people who need it. You can install it for everyone, or for specific users and groups. In this example we install it only for a group containing our recorded users.

Choose who can use it

On the app page, select the Users and groups tab (1). The app shows as Installed for no one. Select Install app (2).

Step 1 of 5

3. Pin it for your users

This step is optional, but we recommend it to keep things simple for your users. A setup policy pins the app so it appears automatically in their Teams app bar and in their meetings.

If you skip it, users who have the app installed can still find it themselves in the Teams app store.

You can update the Global (Org-wide default) policy, which applies to everyone not assigned another policy, or create a new policy with Add and assign it to particular users. In this example we update the Global policy.

Pin it for your users

Add the app to a setup policy so it's pinned in Teams automatically.

1

Open Setup policies

Under Teams apps, select Setup policies (1). Then select Global (Org-wide default) (2) to edit it, or select Add (3) to create a new policy.

Step 1 of 5

4. Wait for the policy to apply

Policy changes can take a few minutes to reach your users. They usually show straight away in the web version of Teams, and a little later in the desktop app.

Not showing after 10 minutes?

If the app hasn't appeared in the Teams desktop app within 10 minutes, contact our support team.

Next steps

Once the app is installed, your users can sign in and start using it. See Using the app.
