[Admin Guide] Microsoft Teams Overview

Spekit brings your company's recorded Microsoft Teams calls into the AI Sidekick and your Deal Rooms, with the transcript and AI summaries of what was said. Teams is connected once for the whole company. After that, calls arrive on their own. No rep connects anything.

ℹ️ Note: if there is no Microsoft Teams card on your Connect page, Teams meetings is not turned on for your account yet. Submit a request and Spekit Support will turn it on.

 

1. What your team gets

Once Teams is connected, a recorded call shows up in 2 places.

Where What your people see Who sees it
AI Sidekick, Meetings list The call and its transcript Each person sees only the calls they were invited to
Deal Room, Calls & AI Recommendations tab The calls that matched that deal, under a Calls heading with a Microsoft Teams badge Everyone at your company who can open that Deal Room

In the Deal Room, each call shows its participant count, length, and date, plus 4 things Spekit generates from the conversation.

Output What it gives you
Next steps The commitments and follow-ups from the call
Key points The main topics, each in a line
Call recap A short summary of what the call was about
Participants Everyone who was on it, by name or email address

Each one has Copy to clipboard. Each call also has Open in Microsoft Teams and Open in Salesforce buttons.

ℹ️ Note: Spekit reads the transcript, the meeting title, the meeting link, and the invite list. It does not read your calendar.

 

2. How a call reaches Spekit

A call passes through 4 stages between the meeting ending and the call showing in Spekit. Microsoft controls the first 2.

Step What happens
1 Someone turns on transcription or recording in the Teams meeting
2 Microsoft tells Spekit the transcript is ready
3 Spekit reads the transcript, the title, the meeting link, and the invite list
4 The call appears in the AI Sidekick, and in the Deal Room if it matched a deal

Calls usually appear a few minutes after Microsoft finishes the transcript. Microsoft decides how long that takes. If Microsoft's notice does not reach us, a daily check picks the call up instead, so it can take up to 1 day.

 

3. What Spekit keeps, and what it skips

A call has to meet all 5 rules below. This is by design, not a fault. Most "missing call" tickets are 1 of these 5.

Rule Why
The call was transcribed in Teams No transcript means there is nothing to bring in
The organizer is one of your own Microsoft users Meetings organized by a guest or by an outside company are not seen
At least 1 person with a Spekit account was invited Spekit only keeps calls its own users took part in
At least 1 person from outside your company was invited Internal-only calls are not kept
The meeting happened after Teams was connected Older meetings are never picked up. There is no history import

For the call to also land in a Deal Room, an invited attendee has to match a Salesforce contact who has a role on an open opportunity.

ℹ️ Note: people must be on the invite. Someone who joins through a forwarded link does not count toward these rules.

 

4. Who does what during setup

Setup involves up to 4 people, and it happens once. At many companies the 2 Microsoft roles are the same person.

Who What they do
Spekit Support Turns on Teams meetings for your account, so the Microsoft Teams card appears on your Connect page
Your Spekit Account Admin Generates the connect link and sends it to your Microsoft admin
A Microsoft Global Administrator or Privileged Role Administrator Approves Spekit's access for your whole company
Your Teams Administrator Runs 2 PowerShell commands and turns on 1 Teams admin setting

Full steps are in [Admin Guide] Setting up the Microsoft Teams Integration.

 

5. Use cases

Teams calls in Spekit are more than a recording. Here is what teams get out of them.

Use case How it helps
Turn a call into content Reps can build a Spek or update a Deal Room straight from the Teams transcript, the same way they can from a Gong call
Get ready for a follow-up call Read the AI recap instead of the whole transcript
Bring a teammate up to speed A Deal Room shows a deal's calls to everyone at your company. A manager or a new rep can see the history without having been on the invite
Hand a deal to someone else The calls stay with the deal, so the next owner does not start from nothing
Coach from real calls Managers can point to what was said rather than what was remembered

💡 Pro Tip: the Deal Room view is the one most people miss. Reps look in the AI Sidekick and only see their own calls. The deal's full call history lives in the Deal Room.

 

6. Best practices

These 4 habits prevent the problems customers most often report after setup. All 4 are easier to do before a call than to fix afterwards.

Practice Why it helps
Connect Teams before a big deal cycle starts Spekit cannot go back and pick up older calls
Tell reps to add the Salesforce contact and their opportunity role before the call A call only joins a Deal Room if the contact and role already exist when the call arrives
Ask people to invite properly instead of forwarding the meeting link Forwarded joiners are not counted as attendees
Do setup with your Account Admin and your Microsoft admin in the same sitting The connect link expires after 30 minutes

💡 Pro Tip: before you raise a missing call with Support, run through the 5 rules in section 3. Most missing calls are an internal-only meeting, or a meeting nobody transcribed.

 

7. Common questions

Can each rep connect their own Teams account? No. One connection covers the whole company.

Will our old calls come in? No. Only meetings held after the connection was made.

Can a manager see calls they were not on? In a Deal Room, yes. Everyone at your company sees the calls attached to that deal. In the AI Sidekick, each person sees only their own calls.

Does Spekit read our calendars? No. Microsoft grants 4 read-only permissions: meeting transcripts, meeting details, the user list, and attendance reports.

Which Spekit roles can connect Teams? Only Account Admins. Team Admins, Experts, and Viewers cannot.
