# How to share and amplify LinkedIn posts from Microsoft Teams

SocialWeaver brings your organization's LinkedIn posts to Microsoft Teams, allowing you to share, react, and comment with a single click.

Follow these steps to connect your LinkedIn profile to your organization's SocialWeaver account:

## Connect your LinkedIn account

**1.** Click on the invite link you received from your marketing team. The link should look something like this: `https://app.socialweaver.com/auth/employee/XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX/connect?group=marketing`

**2.** Click **Continue** to proceed to LinkedIn.

💡

**SocialWeaver will not have access to or be able to store your LinkedIn credentials.** When you authenticate with LinkedIn, you'll see a complete list of all the permissions and account information the SocialWeaver app will obtain.

**3.** Enter your LinkedIn credentials, then click **Sign in.**

💡

This dialog will be skipped automatically if you're already signed in to LinkedIn on your current browser session.

**4.** Click on **Allow** to proceed. You will be redirected back to SocialWeaver.

**5.** Select your preferred approval mode. There are two available modes of content approval in SocialWeaver:
- **Manual (Recommended)**: This is the default content approval mode where you manually share, comment, and like all LinkedIn content pushed to Microsoft Teams.
- **Automatic**: Give your organization permission to share and like posts on your behalf. _Only posts shared on your organization's LinkedIn page can be automatically re-shared and liked on your behalf._

If you choose the manual approval mode, you'll need to enable at least one option to receive content notifications. To enable Microsoft Teams, click on the **Install SocialWeaver for Teams** link. You will be redirected to Microsoft to enter your Microsoft Teams account credentials.

**6.** Enter your Microsoft Teams account credentials. You will be redirected back to SocialWeaver once the authentication process is done.

💡

This step will be skipped automatically if you're already signed in to Microsoft on your current browser session.

**7.** Make sure the Microsoft Teams checkbox is checked, then click on **Save**. _You can check the email checkbox as well if you'd like to engage with content via email as an additional method._

You will receive a notification from the SocialWeaver application on Teams confirming that your account configuration process is done.

💡

You can return to this page and make changes by visiting the same invite link from step one or clicking on the Preferences button from Microsoft Teams.

## Engage with content from Microsoft Teams

After completing the account configuration process above, you should be ready to start engaging with your Organization's LinkedIn content directly from Microsoft Teams.

When a new LinkedIn post is published, you'll receive a notification on the SocialWeaver app. Here's an example of what it should look like:

You should be able to:
- **Like**. This is the equivalent of finding the post on LinkedIn and liking it.
- **Share** the post to your LinkedIn feed. And
- **Comment**.
