Go to Azure Active Directory.
Copy the Tenant ID and send it to the Cognition Support Team via email.
Construct a consent URL by replacing the Tenant_ID_Value with your Tenant ID: https://login.microsoftonline.com/Tenant_ID_Value/adminconsadmclient_id=f4fbd3e4-5a70-475f-9543-5a7ab90f6e8f.
Navigate to the constructed URL and grant permission. The listed permissions need to be granted in order to link your Microsoft Azure account with our application.
Next you will be creating an Application Access policy that will grant our Cognition app permission to access your organization’s Microsoft Teams account so that we can help manage and adjust Teams meetings on your behalf through Cognition. To begin, confirm you have the following installed on your machine: Powershell 5.1 or higher and .NET Framework 4.8 or higher
Open PowerShell as an Administrator. Check your execution policy and run the following command: Get-ExecutionPolicy -List
If you see a Restricted Policy, run the following command: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Run Command: Install-Module MicrosoftTeams.
Click “Yes to All”
Run Command: Connect-MicrosoftTeams.

Run Command: Grant-CsApplicationAccessPolicy -PolicyName Cognition-ms-teams-allow-access - Global
Once you have successfully ran all of the commands, let our Cognition Integration Team know and we will finish configuring Microsoft Teams with Cognition!
Adding Instructor Accounts
In order to host Teams meetings, Instructors will need to have their Teams account email included in the LMS. This may be set either through the newly added Teams Account field on the Contact tab of User Administration. This two field can also be edited by Instructors directly in their Profile under the Gear menu. Users will enter in their email and use the "Update Teams Account" button to verify their account information. If the email address is successfully matched with an account in the organization; they will receive a success banner and a Verification message. The system will always use the Teams Account when creating or updating Teams meetings.
