Scoold Pro now integrates with Microsoft Teams

I’m happy to announce that Scoold Pro is now integrated with Microsoft Teams! Everyone who owns an active Scoold Pro license will get the new feature in the next release. All instances running on Scoold Cloud will also be updated and will benefit from the new integration. This was a highly-requested feature and it honestly took more time than I anticipated but the end result is great. Teams is the third enterprise chat application which gets an offical Scoold integration, after Slack and Mattermost. All three support a similar feature set.
