1. How can I connect Teams Design Element in SharePoint On-Premise to an Office 365 Tenant (organization)?


Teams Design Element uses Microsoft Graph to get Teams data from your organization. Prior to adding Teams Design Element into your SharePoint Page, you have to connect ShortPoint to Microsoft Graph:


1. From your Site Contents navigate to ShortPoint Dashboard and click Integrations.  

2. If you didn't connect Microsoft Graph before, click connect and logging with your Office 365 Tenant Administrator account.

3. If the login was successful, you have to grant ShortPoint the list of permissions that appears by clicking Accept
