Authenticating Team Chat cloud storage with SharePoint

You can integrate Zoom Team Chat with Microsoft SharePoint to create files directly from a chat channel using the Office 365 suite, have it automatically uploaded to SharePoint, and click to co-author Office 365 documents. You can configure this integration by authenticating an account and enabling Zoom Team Chat cloud storage with SharePoint. You can also choose, re-authenticate, or remove the account that you want to be authenticated.

The existing file upload integration was limited to sharing files in meetings and in Zoom Team Chat, while this new integration allows for Microsoft SharePoint cloud storage to become the default file storage location for channel files. Both integrations can be enabled, however separate authentication for each integration is required at this time.
