Before you can use this integration, an administrator must do the following:
- Add the Rescue app to your Teams workspace
- Set up a link between your Teams workspace and your LogMeIn Rescue account. You must have a Single Sign-On ID to do this.
- Make sure your Technicians have a Single Sign-On ID set up in LogMeIn Rescue. Check the details of your Technicians on the Organization page of the Administration Center.

Results: The LogMeIn Rescue integration is now available in Microsoft Teams. Notice that an administrator still has to link your Rescue and Microsoft Teams accounts.
How to link a LogMeIn Rescue account to Microsoft Teams?
An administrator must link Microsoft Teams to a Rescue account to make the integration work. You must have your own Single Sign-On ID to set up a link. Check your
Administrator user's settings in the Rescue Administration Center.
During this process, the selected region will be linked to the Microsoft tenant. Once this step is completed, the region selector will no longer appear for technicians (and administrators), allowing them to proceed without additional configuration.
Important: Before a technician can log in and start creating sessions, an administrator must first log in.
- Type Sign In in the chat.
- Type your LogMeIn Rescue account region, then select Sign In to continue.
- Sign in to your LogMeIn Rescue account, then select Give Consent.
- After a successful sign in, you can create new sessions and interact with other users via the chatbot.
- You can launch the LogMeIn Rescue Web Console either from the chatbot, or by opening the desktop console.
Results: Once a session is initiated, the customer receives a notification from the technician, allowing them to join the session.
