In the feed, you have the option of having your activities that you carry out outside of timeghost in a Microsoft application with your Microsoft 365 account automatically displayed as separate events in the feed, so that you can easily post them directly to a project from here.


To be able to use this feature, you have to activate the respective services in advance and authorize timeghost to query the data.


As an Admin, you have the option of immediately assigning the permissions organization-wide, so that all other users in your workspace only need to activate the services they want without having to assign permissions again. 


In this tutorial you will learn how to authorize and activate the Microsoft services.
