Overview
Use this account type to connect Teams Snaps with data sources that use OAuth2 application accounts.
The account authenticating the Teams OAuth2 Application Account must have access to the Microsoft Teams Application through the Office 365 dashboard to use the Teams Snaps. Without the Teams access through the Office 365 Dashboard, the authentication may happen, but you will not receive an access token.

- Teams application through the Office 365 portal
- Office365 (admin access) for the Application account.
- A registered application in the Microsoft Azure Portal with appropriate permissions that contains the following information.
- Client ID
- Tenant name or Tenant ID
- Client secret
- OAuth 2.0 token endpoint
