Microsoft is looking to bring LinkedIn profiles to Teams. The tech giant has confirmed plans for a new feature to allow LinkedIn profiles to be displayed within its video conferencing profile.<\/p>\n

In an entry on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, the company explained: “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.”<\/p>\n

The feature – which was added to the roadmap on February 4 – is still in development and set to roll out next month on web and desktop versions of the platform. Microsoft acquired LinkedIn back in 2016 for roughly $26.2 billion to get into the social media space.<\/p>\n

It proved to be a smart move, with the company’s most recent financial results revealing that Productivity and Businesses Processes – including LinkedIn and Microsoft 365 – has grown by 19% year on year to $15.9 billion.<\/p>\n

Although LinkedIn is growing in plenty of markets around the world – including a Hindi option – the platform hasn’t made the same impact in China, where Microsoft instead had to launch InCareer for Chinese users.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Microsoft Teams has over 270 million monthly active users, and video conferencing has become a vital part of how most businesses now operate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
