Hootsuite Amplify Integration with Microsoft Teams Enhances Sharing Capabilities for Users

Release of new features will help users personalize, schedule and share content through Microsoft Teams

Vancouver, BC – May 24, 2022 — Today, Hootsuite announced that it has upgraded the content sharing capabilities within Amplify by Hootsuite for Microsoft Teams

By way of this enhanced content experience, new features and functionalities have been built into the integrated ecosystem within Teams. As licensed Teams users, employees now have the ability to personalize, schedule and share content to their social channels through the Amplify by Hootsuite app in Teams.

  • Personalize: To add authenticity and personal flair to the shared content, users can personalize their posts to include mentions, emojis, shortened links, and more. 

  • Schedule: Users can save time by creating numerous posts at once and scheduling them to become available to their network.

  • Share: For increased collaboration, users can share the posts they like with their colleagues directly through Teams. 

“Empowering employees to help build your brand’s social influence is an incredible way to engage your most valued asset—your people—while also extending your company’s social and overall reach,” said Natalia Williams, Chief Product Officer, Hootsuite. “We’re excited to partner with Microsoft Teams and create a more seamless experience for our customers.”

In 2021, Hootsuite unveiled its integration into Teams, which has enabled brands to extend their reach through social influence, transform employees into engaged advocates, and reduce risk by providing shareable messaging that is accurate, clear and on-brand. Through Amplify by Hootsuite, brands are uniquely positioned to simultaneously increase their online visibility and leverage employee advocacy across the organization. 

“Hootsuite’s rich integration with Microsoft Teams will give employee advocates a powerful way to realize the potential of their social footprint while staying in the flow of work,” said Niranjan Deo, Sr. Director Teams & Platform, Microsoft.

To access the upgraded Amplify by Hootsuite for Microsoft Teams, existing Amplify licensed Teams users will receive an alert to initiate a software update which will enable the new features. New users can download the updated version of the application and will automatically have access to all of its enhanced features.
