The Bright Breaks Microsoft Teams app will allow for anyone with a Bright Breaks account to choose from pre-recorded Bright Breaks and present them in any Teams meeting! This app currently does not have Teams chat integration functionality.
Important: If your organization uses SSO that was set up for Bright Breaks before April 2025 at the organization level, or if your IT Administrators have set limitations on installing applications on your Microsoft Teams instance, please see the Microsoft Teams App Installation doc.
Please note the following types of meeting participants may not be able to view the break content in the meeting due to bugs that are yet to be resolved by Microsoft:
- Participants who are not logged into a Microsoft account
- Note that guests from outside of your organization may be more likely to not have a MS Teams account
- Participants joining from a web browser as opposed to desktop or mobile app
