How To Disable LinkedIn Integration In Microsoft Teams And Office 365

 

This Microsoft Teams tutorial will demonstrate how to disable LinkedIn Integration in Microsoft Teams and Office 365. This feature was added to Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 several months ago and if enabled, allows users to connect their Microsoft account to their LinkedIn account so that they can display their LinkedIn profile in Teams and other Office apps such as Outlook. Unfortunately, the LinkedIn Tabs in Outlook and Teams cannot be disabled (based on my research) however, Microsoft Admins can disable the ability for users to connect their profiles.

       RealTime_M365  As of this posting, you can sign into your LinkedIn account and go to your Me icon and choose  Settings and Privacy. Select the Visibility option on the left-side menu.  Then in the "Visiblity of your profile & network section", choose the "Profile discovery and visibility off LinkedIn" option.  Make sure the switch is off.

        This guide isn't accurate anymore: the setting layout seem to have changed since. Good job to Linked-In and Microsoft for leaking everyone's business email and facilitating hacker's adempts at phishing. Absolute clowns.

    My admin had disabled linkedin for the desktop app, but it reappeared in New Teams and again in
    the mobile app too.
    I'm not at all comfortable with LinkedIn spying on me. I had serious problems leaving that bloody service a few years back but found out they kept ghostprofiles on me over a year later and kept sending former contacts recommendations to add me and resulting in regular mails from linked in that people were trying to add me. I'm extremely dissatisfied with LinkedIn and want to block them entirely from my person.
