Teams, 365 app and Intune

Want your people to use OfficeMaps from Teams, Outlook or managed phones? This article shows IT administrators how to install the OfficeMaps 365 app for everyone, show Teams presence in OfficeMaps, and let the mobile app work under Intune.

Install the 365 app for everyone

You need to be a Microsoft Teams administrator.

1. Go to Manage apps in the Teams admin center: https://admin.teams.microsoft.com/policies/manage-apps

   

2. Search for OfficeMaps and allow it.

   

It can take a few hours for Microsoft to make the app available to everyone.

Install and pin it automatically

You can also push the app to people with a setup policy.

1. Go to Setup policies: https://admin.teams.microsoft.com/policies/app-setup

2. Choose a policy, such as Global (Org-wide default).

3. Add OfficeMaps to the installed apps, and pin it if you like.

   

Show Teams presence in OfficeMaps

You need a Microsoft 365 integration set up first. See How do I sync people from Microsoft Entra (Azure AD)?

1. In OfficeMaps, open Preferences, then Integrations, and choose your Microsoft integration.

2. Under Teams User Presence, enter the user name of a Teams service account. It must not use MFA, but it doesn’t need any special permissions.

3. Click Set Password and enter the account’s password.

   

4. To let everyone see it, open Preferences, then People, and tick Teams User Presence under the fields visible to all users.

   

Let the mobile app work under Intune

If your iPhones use Intune app protection with Edge as the browser, people may see “Something went wrong” after logging in to the mobile app. Add OfficeMaps as an exempt app to fix it.

1. In the Intune admin center, click Apps, then iOS/iPadOS.

   

2. Click Protection.

   

3. Open your app protection policy, then Properties. Next to Data protection, click Edit.

   

4. Under Select apps to exempt, click Select.

   

5. Add this entry, click OK, then save the policy.
