New Microsoft Teams feature lets you show off your LinkedIn profile
Microsoft Teams will soon support a feature that lets you see people’s LinkedIn profiles within one-to-one chats. The option appears in an entry on the Microsoft 365 roadmap. Microsoft could roll out support for viewing LinkedIn profiles within Teams chats as soon as next month, but that isn’t a firm release date.
“Users will be able to see LinkedIn profiles of their colleagues in 1:1 chat. The LinkedIn profile is available via the LinkedIn tab in the 1:1 chat panel,” reads the Microsoft 365 roadmap entry for the feature.
The roadmap entry specifies that the feature will be available on Teams for the web and desktop.
Showing a person’s LinkedIn profile within a chat should help on a variety of levels. For example, users of Teams will know that the LinkedIn profile they’re looking at is for the person they’re speaking with instead of someone sharing the same name. LinkedIn profiles can also provide vital background information, work history, and links to blog posts and other content.
