How to Find Your Microsoft Teams Tenant ID

Method 1: Using Microsoft Teams

  1. Launch the Microsoft Teams application.

  2. Click on the three dots (More options) next to any team or channel.

  3. Select "Get link to team."

  4. Copy the URL provided.

  5. The Tenant ID is the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) found in the URL. It typically looks like this: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3a<team-id>@thread.tacv2/conversations?groupId=<tenant-id>&tenantId=<tenant-id>. The Tenant ID is the value after tenantId=.

Method 2: Using the Microsoft 365 Admin Center

  1. Go to admin.microsoft.com and sign in as a global or user management admin.

  2. Expand the Admin Centers tab and click on Azure Active Directory.

  3. In the Azure Active Directory, the Tenant ID will be displayed under the directory properties.

Method 3: Using the Teams Admin Center

  1. Go to the Teams Admin Center and sign in.

  2. Click on Teams from the left-hand menu.

  3. Select the team you want to get the Tenant ID for and go to the team details.

  4. The Tenant ID will be listed under the team details.

Once the integration is enabled in Sana, install the Sana app (found here) through the Microsoft Teams app store. By setting up an app policy (or adding the app to an existing one), you can force install the app for all your users. For more details, refer to this guide.

💡Installing the app must be done AFTER the integration is set-up, otherwise you will need to reinstall once this is done.
