InLoox for Microsoft Teams

The InLoox integration for Microsoft Teams gives you direct access to your project information — right inside Teams. The interface mirrors InLoox Web App, with the main menu items (Workplace, Projects, Tasks, Time, Workload, and more) arranged horizontally at the top instead of in the sidebar. Editing your projects works the same way as in InLoox Web App; all features are fully available.
