Orbit for Teams

Orbit includes a Microsoft Teams home-tab experience so notes can open in Teams where the app is installed and configured.

What Orbit for Teams is for

Use Orbit in Teams to open the Orbit home tab and follow Teams-aware note links.

Use it when a discussion is already happening in Teams and the supporting note should open without leaving that context.

Open Orbit in Teams

1. Open Microsoft Teams.
2. Open the Orbit app or tab your organization installed.
3. Sign in if prompted.
4. Choose a workspace or follow a note link.

You should see the same Orbit workspaces and notes you can access in the browser.

Share a Teams link

1. Open the note in Orbit.
2. Choose Share.
3. Choose the Teams link option if it is shown.
4. Paste the link into Teams.

The link is designed to open the note in the Orbit Teams tab experience.

Permissions still apply

Teams links do not bypass permissions. Recipients still need workspace or note-specific access.

If a user opens a Teams link and sees an access error, grant access through the workspace or share dialog.

Teams mobile behavior

Orbit adjusts some navigation behavior for Teams mobile. If a deep link does not open the expected note, open the workspace from Teams and navigate to the note manually.

What Teams does not add

Orbit for Teams does not add a Teams bot, message extension, chat tab, or automatic meeting-note flow. Use normal Orbit notes and share Teams-aware links when a note belongs in a Teams conversation.
