Use LinkedIn in Microsoft Teams
It’s easy to view a person’s LinkedIn profile directly in Teams. When you view a person's profile card or go to any one-on-one chat, you can quickly see their 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.

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 people. Find out what you have in common with them, see your degrees of connection, and connect on LinkedIn without leaving Teams.
