What Is Kadence for Microsoft Teams?
The Kadence app in Microsoft Teams is a web-wrapped version of the Kadence web app. It works the same way as Kadence in your browser, but is embedded directly inside Teams for convenience.
In addition to the app experience, Kadence also includes a Kadence bot (Kadence AI) that lets you interact with Kadence using chat commands.
Kadence for Microsoft Teams allows you to:
View and manage your bookings
Create new desk, room, or onsite bookings
Check in to bookings
See where your colleagues are working
Receive Kadence notifications directly in Teams
Anything you can do in your browser, you can also do in Teams.
