After connecting HubSpot and Microsoft Teams, you can sync webinar registration and attendance details from Microsoft Teams webinars to HubSpot marketing events. Use this information to segment your contacts in HubSpot.

To sync Microsoft Teams webinar information to HubSpot marketing events, follow the steps below to set up PowerShell, connect to Microsoft Teams, and grant permissions to users.

- Mac: open Terminal and run
pwsh
to launch PowerShell. - Windows: search for "PowerShell" in the Start menu., then click Run as administrator.
- Mac: open Terminal and run

in PowerShell and clickEnter
. If you haven't installed the Teams PowerShell module, learn how to install the module.
Grant permissions to users
Follow the instructions in this article to grant permissions to a set of users:
- Run the following command in PowerShell to create an access policy:
New-CsApplicationAccessPolicy -Identity MY-APP-POLICY -AppIds "0493df14-0cd5-4c89-b413-e0b9b90bbb17" -Description "MY APP POLICY DESCRIPTION"
. - To grant permissions to selected users , run the following command:
Grant-CsApplicationAccessPolicy -PolicyName MY-APP-POLICY -Identity "USER_ID”

. - To grant permissions to all existing and future users at once, run the following command:
Grant-CsApplicationAccessPolicy -PolicyName MY-APP-POLICY-2 -Global

Please note:
- If you already have an existing application level policy and want the same permissioning structure to be applied to HubSpot, add the HubSpot App ID (
