Use Wordly With Microsoft Teams

Learn how to integrate Wordly with your Microsoft Teams meeting

Wordly integrates with a Microsoft Teams meeting using Wordly’s Meeting Bot feature. 

Wordly’s meeting bot for Microsoft Teams is compatible with Microsoft Teams Meetings and Webinars

For Microsoft Teams Live Events and Town Hall, please see Send Audio to Wordly With Any Other Streaming Platform.

Prerequisites

  • A Wordly account with available minutes.
  • A Microsoft Teams account with the verification checks disabled. Teams' verification checks prevents the Wordly Meeting Bot from joining the meeting. For more information about disabling Teams' verification checks, see Microsoft's Teams documentation.

Before the meeting

Create a session on the Wordly portal or use an existing session. If you’re unsure on how to create a session, check out Creating a Session.

During the meeting

Once your Teams meeting has begun, follow these steps to invite the Meeting Bot to your meeting. Keep in mind, the Meeting Bot tries to join for 10 minutes before giving up, so it’s best to invite the bot when the meeting has begun or just before it starts.

  1. From the Wordly dashboard, click Sessions from the left side menu.
  2. Click the target session to reveal the session details.
  3. Click the three horizontal lines icon on the top right of  the session details. session-detail-menu
  4. Click Join with meeting bot. In the Live Session Controls window, enter the Teams URL. Make sure there is an https:// in front of the URL.  
  5. Click Invite. Inviting Wordly takes some moments to process.
  6. When the virtual meeting starts, the meeting organizer may need to allow Wordly to join. Locate Wordly in the lobby of the Team meeting and give access to Wordly. For more information about managing Team participants, see Microsoft's Teams documentation.
  7. Promote the Meeting Bot to presenter (Webinars Only)

    Don't worry if after initially admitting Wordly, the bot remains in the lobby and the checkmark and x icons return. The live transcript still runs. To verify the transcript, check the Attendee Shortcut link.

    Next Steps

    You can now continue your meeting with Wordly participation.

    To access the Attendee Shortcut link and view the live transcript, see Attending a Session.
