Overview
Tactiq now supports Microsoft Teams via Progressive Web App (PWA). Instead of joining meetings through a regular browser tab, you can install Teams as an app directly from your browser and run your meetings from there. (here i think we need to let them know it's still a web app, now a proper desktop app_
Install Microsoft Teams PWA in Chrome
To get started, open your Microsoft Teams meeting in Google Chrome.
Look at the address bar where the meeting URL appears.
Click the Install app icon (a small computer with a downward arrow), then click Install.
Once installed, Microsoft Teams will open in its own app window. This is the PWA version, separate from your browser tabs and different from the traditional desktop app.
Join or Start Meetings Using the Teams PWA
After installing the PWA, you can use it just like a regular Teams app:
Open the Teams PWA app
Go to your Calendar
Join scheduled meetings
Or start a new/instant meeting
When you join a meeting from the PWA, Tactiq will automatically activate and start working.
