Prerequisites

• NodeJS
• SharePoint admin access
• SharePoint app catalog

Step 1 - Setup this project

• Install Gulp npm install -g gulp
• Clone this repo git clone https://github.com/instant-technologies/chime-sp-extension.git
• Change directory to this project and install dependencies npm install
• Update the string value in /src/index.ts with your Chime web client URL, for example https://ch-teams-net1.imchime.com/Chime/WebClient?id=1

Step 2 - Build your Chime SharePoint app

• Run gulp bundle --ship
• Run gulp package-solution --ship
• The previous command will generate a chime-extension.sppkg file located in the /sharepoint folder. This is what you need to upload to your SharePoint app catalog.

Step 3 - Deploy

• Enable the CDN in your Office 365 tenant to host your app
• Go to your SharePoint app catalog
• Upload your chime-extension.sppkg file to your SharePoint app catalog
• Go to one of your SharePoint sites
• Click the site settings button, and click Add an app
• Click Chime Web Client

After following the steps above, you should see a Chime button at the right-bottom-corner of your SharePoint page. Clicking that button should launch your Chime web client.
