The Jiminny Outlook Add-in lets your team get explicit consent to record a meeting from the participants to comply with call recording regulations.

The Add-in creates meeting links which first display the consent page before starting or opening the meeting, forcing all guests to accept or decline recording before they join. Jiminny creates and manages the underlying Teams meeting corresponding to the Outlook event.

Currently only Microsoft Teams and Outlook (Office 365) are supported.

Install the Jiminny for Outlook Add-in

The add-in is supported on Outlook 2013 or later for Windows, Outlook 2016 or later for Mac, and Outlook on the web.

1. Grant Additional Scopes

The Add-in requires a user-level scope to create and update Teams Meetings. This is achieved by the OnlineMeeting.ReadWrite scope which users will need to individually grant. To ensure they can grant this, please ensure the Jiminny Enterprise Application in your Azure tenant is pre-approved.

2. Deploy the Add-in

We recommend installing the Add-in using Integrated Apps.

  1. Navigate to Settings > Integrated Apps in Microsoft Admin Center and click Deploy Add-in

  2. Click Upload custom apps

  3. Choose App type of Office Add-in

  4. Provide link to manifest file of https://outlook.jiminny.com/manifest.xml and click Validate and click Next

  5. Choose which Users or Groups it should be deployed to. We recommend creating a Jiminny Group for easier management. Click Next once selected

  6. Click Accept permissions, authorize and click Next

  7. Click Finish Deployment and Done

It may take a little while for the Add-in to be fully deployed, but your users will now have a new Jiminny Meeting action in the Outlook ribbon (menu), which should be used to create Teams meetings.
