Channel Chat for SharePoint and Teams

The Updates Stream web part enhances organisational communication by displaying Microsoft Teams channel chat streams directly within SharePoint pages, with the most recent messages at the top.

Key Features

Real-time updates – Displays the latest Teams messages like a news feed.

Read-only integration – Keeps users informed without replacing Microsoft Teams chat.

Ideal for collaboration – Bridges SharePoint collaboration with Teams discussions.

Supports Teams-first organisations – Useful for companies that choose Teams over Yammer for broad communications.

What It Offers

This web part seamlessly integrates Microsoft Teams with SharePoint, allowing you to display a selected Team channel's chat stream—including images, replies, and GIFs—directly within SharePoint. It’s designed for organisations that use Teams Channels as their primary internal communication tool instead of Yammer.

Designed with a minimalist and clean aesthetic, this web part blends effortlessly into any SharePoint theme or layout. Flexible configuration options allow you to set a fixed height and limit the number of displayed posts, making it adaptable to various presentation styles. Each post includes a direct link to its thread in Microsoft Teams, ensuring easy access and engagement.

How It Works

Install the SharePoint Framework app package in the global or site collection app store.

Add the web part to any SharePoint page.

Configure by specifying the Microsoft Team ID and selecting the desired channel.

Grant permissions – Requires Microsoft Graph API access to read channel chat and user profiles.

This web part helps reduce context switching by bringing Teams chat into SharePoint, ensuring a seamless communication flow across your organisation.
