Plugin integrating Microsoft Teams video conferences with the Indico service.

The Microsoft Teams Indico plugin

This is a Microsoft Teams video conferencing plugin for the Indico. It allows event organizers to create online meetings at Microsoft Teams platform using the interface of Indico. It requires a Microsoft Office 365 organization with Teams and Azure services and an application registered at the Azure Active Directory.

To learn more about Indico plugins go here: https://docs.getindico.io/en/stable/plugins/getting_started/

Installation

1. Clone the repository of the plugin to the directory where your Indico plugins are stored. Preferably rename the repository directory to vc_ms_teams.

2. Register an application in Azure Active Directory as described here.

   • In the step 3. of registration provide your own Redicrect URI e.g. http://localhost:8000/vc_ms_teams_authorized where localhost:8000 is the host address and port of your Indico instance.
   • The client-id and client-secret generated during the registration process will be used in the next step, so remember them.

3. Using the client-id, client-secret and Redicrect URI modify the config.py file (this step will be later removed - instead the plugin will be configured using the Indico plugin interface).

4. Install the directory of plugin as Python package using pip inside the same virtualenv where your Indico instance is installed e.g. pip install ./vc_ms_teams.

5. (Optional) Use the indico setup list-plugins command to see which plugins are installed. If the plugin has been installed correctly the command should display it as vc_ms_teams.

6. Add name of the plugin (vc_ms_teams) to the PLUGINS entry in the configuration of Indico as described here.
