Microsoft brings LinkedIn profile integration to teams

After WhatsApp, Twitter and Gmail introduced a number of upgrades to their users this year, Microsoft is jumping on the bandwagon to introduce some much-needed updates to the Teams platform. Microsoft is going to integrate LinkedIn profiles into Teams chat.

This allows the users to view their colleagues’ LinkedIn profiles in one-on-one chats. According to the company, the update is expected to roll out sometime in March and be available to users of Microsoft Teams desktop and web versions around the world.
