When you go to any one-on-one chat, you can quickly see that person’s experience, education, skills, and more. You can also expand your LinkedIn network and connect with people on LinkedIn without leaving Teams.
Note: Your organization needs to enable the LinkedIn integration in Teams for you to access it. When your organization enables the LinkedIn integration, you can access LinkedIn in Outlook too.
In Teams, go to any one-on-one chat and click the LinkedIn tab.
See that person’s experience, skills, endorsements, and more.
Connect your LinkedIn and Microsoft accounts
You can access LinkedIn profiles in Teams without connecting your LinkedIn and Microsoft accounts. But if you choose to connect these accounts, you can discover more about a person in any one-on-one chat in Teams. Find out what you have in common with them, see your degrees of connection, and connect on LinkedIn without leaving Teams.
Social Networking Sites, such as Facebook and Linkedin, are clear examples of the impact that the Web 2.0 has on people around the world, because they target an aspect of life that is extremely important to anyone: social relationships. The key to building a social network is the ability of finding people that we know in real life, which, in turn, requires those people to make publicly available some personal information, such as their names, family names, locations and birth dates, just to name a few. However, it is not uncommon that individuals create multiple profiles in several social networks, each containing partially overlapping sets of personal information. Matching those different profiles allows to create a global profile that gives a holistic view of the information of an individual. In this paper, we present an algorithm that uses the network topology and the publicly available personal information to iteratively match profiles across n social networks, based on those individuals who disclose the links to their multiple profiles. The evaluation results, obtained on a real dataset composed of around 2 million profiles, show that our algorithm achieves a high accuracy.
