Using the MS Teams app

Last updated



Team Today works inside Microsoft Teams much as it does on the website, with a few differences.

Team Today tabs inside Microsoft Teams
You can use both the MS Teams app and web portal

The Team Today tabs

Team Today appears in Teams as a personal app with five tabs:

  • Whereabouts: Team View, Work Planner, Floor Plan and Office View.
  • Company: All Teams and Workgroups, plus Departments and Lockers if your company uses them.
  • Leave Planner: the leave calendar, My Leave, Approvals and Reports.
  • Meeting Rooms: book rooms and view your bookings, plus Hospitality if your company uses it.
  • Management: your own settings and, for admins, your company's settings.

The app also has a chat with the Team Today bot, which is where the notifications described below arrive.

Links to another section switch you to the right tab.

What's different from the website

  • Billing: you can't change your plan or billing in Teams. To upgrade or manage billing, log in at app.team-today.com and go to Settings > Billing and plan settings.
  • Signing in: sign in with your Microsoft 365 account, or with your email and password. Google sign-in only works on the website.
  • Calendar permissions: syncing with your Outlook calendar needs extra permissions from Microsoft. If Team Today doesn't have them yet, it shows a Permission needed message. Select Continue and Teams opens a Microsoft sign-in window where you approve them. Depending on your organisation's settings, this may need approval from your IT admin.

Notifications in Teams

If you sign in with Microsoft, the Team Today bot can message you in Teams about:

  • leave requests waiting for your approval, if you're a line manager
  • your own leave requests being approved or declined, if your company sends approval notifications
  • setting your whereabouts for the week ahead, if your company has turned on Teams reminders

Company admins can turn on Teams reminders in Settings > Company settings > Notifications, under Whereabouts reminder settings. Switch on Enable, choose the day, hour and timezone, then select Save changes.
