Creating Teams Meetings from Cognise

This article describes how to setup and configure the Microsoft Teams Integration. Once enabled, this integration allows organisers, and Trainers to setup Teams Events directly from within Cognise. Staff can then register exactly like they do for in-person or other online sessions.

Configuring Microsoft Teams in Cognise

We've made setting up the Teams Integration simple. To get started follow the steps below.

Check Access

You will need to have full system admin permissions in Cognise and your company will need the Microsoft Azure AD add-on enabled by Cognise Support.

App Permissions

Next, we need to give your app the permissions Cognise requires to sync data.

  1. Navigate to your organisation’s app that is being used to sync Azure AD against Cognise.

  2. On the left-hand menu click API permissions. Click on the Add a permission button.

  3. Select the Microsoft Graph option.

  4. Select Application Permissions.

  5. Select:

    • OnlineMeetings.ReadWrite.All from the OnlineMeetings option

    • OnlineMeetings.Read.All from the OnlineMeetings option;

    • User.Read.All from the User option (this might exist already if AD Sync was previously configured).

  6. Click Add permissions. The three new permissions should be visible in the list.

  7. Select the added permissions from the list and click Grant admin consent (if you don’t have access to do this ask your IT department to do it for you).

Once the 3 permissions have been granted consent in Azure AD Admin Center, navigate to Cognise and click the Update button to see the changes.

As shown below, make sure in Cognise under Microsoft Azure AD > Microsoft Teams Meetings > Edit Microsoft Teams Meetings that Microsoft Teams Activation has Microsoft Teams Meetings Enabled.
