Both the Microsoft Teams and the Turnitin Feedback Studio administrators will need to be present to complete the setup process.
Add Turnitin to Microsoft Teams
- Log into Microsoft Teams as an administrator.
- Select the Apps icon from the left sidebar.
- Search for Turnitin in the Apps search bar.
- Select Add to a team.
- Check that the Microsoft Teams environment supports the following required app permissions, which will allow the students in the Channel to be roster-synced with the Turnitin app.
Admins can review Microsoft's Grant and manage consent to Teams app permissions article for more information.
Sometimes, additional permissions set-up may be required, as outlined below.
- Log in to the Microsoft Entra as an administrator.
- Expand the Identity icon on the left sidebar.
- Select Applications, and then Enterprise applications.
- Find and select Turnitin from the list of applications.
- Under Security on the left side, select Permissions.
- Select the blue Grant admin consent for Turnitin button.
Add Turnitin to a Microsoft Teams General channel
If the institution's Turnitin Feedback Studio is also being used with other integrations, then it is recommended that a Turnitin Feedback Studio sub-account is created for the setup of this integration. View our guidance on how to set up a sub-account.
- Select a Team.
- Under Channels, select General.
- Complete the process of adding the Turnitin tab.
- When first launching the app, the Turnitin Feedback Studio administrator will be prompted to enter their Turnitin email address and password to initiate the deployment process.
- Once logged in, a list of all associated accounts will appear. Select the relevant account that will be linked to this integration setup and use the Next button to continue.
- Review the content on the confirmation screen. If everything looks correct, select the Confirm and Complete button to finish your setup.
Once this is complete, the Turnitin app will be available for all instructors linked to the MS Teams environment. Please refer to our FAQ if a consortium/district setup is in place that requires access to Turnitin to be limited to certain schools/institutions.
