# Office 365 Teams Integration

> Run a Pear Deck presentation directly inside Microsoft Teams and help students join your session

Run a full GoGuardian Pear Deck presentation from within Microsoft Teams. Open your Pear Deck for PowerPoint Online file in a Teams tab, start a session, and the private [Dashboard View](/products/pear-deck/use-teacher-dashboard) opens automatically. You get real-time student responses by name while the anonymous Projector View displays on the classroom screen. Your school or organization must have a [Microsoft Office 365 Teams account](https://support.office.com/en-us/article/how-do-i-get-access-to-microsoft-teams-fc7f1634-abd3-4f26-a597-9df16e4ca65b) and the Pear Deck App for Teams installed before you begin.

## Start Your Presentation

1. Sign in to your [Office 365 account](https://www.office.com/).

2. Go to **Apps** and click **Teams**.

3. With the Teams screen open, click the new tab button.

4. In the Teams apps menu, select **Pear Deck**.

5. Click **Select a File from OneDrive** to choose the PowerPoint Online file you want to present.

6. In the file picker, select the file you want to present with Pear Deck.

7. Once the file has loaded, click **Save** to launch your presentation.

8. Your presentation starts and the Dashboard opens in a new tab. Use the Dashboard to run the presentation and review student responses in real time. See [Use the Teacher Dashboard](/products/pear-deck/use-teacher-dashboard) to learn what you can do. Responses from this session are saved automatically in your Sessions menu.

## Help Students Join

How students join depends on whether they are already in your Teams environment. Both paths work.

**Students already in your Teams environment**

Students who are in your Teams environment do not need a Join Code. They navigate to Teams, click the presentation tab, and click **Sign in to Pear Deck** to join.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/goguardian/CYxVqIrZdJqOiE9Y/images/screenshots/use-office-365-teams-integration/step-06.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=CYxVqIrZdJqOiE9Y&q=85&s=d63a8c7dc7ed602deab1787571189e90" alt="Teams, log into session, red arrow" width="686" height="388" data-path="images/screenshots/use-office-365-teams-integration/step-06.png" />

**Students outside your Teams environment**

Students outside Teams can still join, but they need a Microsoft Office 365 account. To get them in:

* Click **Open Projector View**. This opens the Projector View in a new tab.

* The Projector View always displays student responses anonymously. This is the view to show on your classroom screen. See [Present a Pear Deck](/products/pear-deck/present-a-pear-deck) for more detail.

* Students go to [joinpd.com](http://joinpd.com/), enter the Session Join Code shown in your Projector View, and sign in with their Microsoft Office 365 accounts.

Regardless of how students join, their slides sync to yours and they can respond to any Interactive Questions you have added.

## Run Your Presentation

The Dashboard and Projector Views stay in sync automatically. Use the Navigation Bar in the Dashboard to move through slides. The Projector View and student views follow. See [Present a Pear Deck](/products/pear-deck/present-a-pear-deck) to learn what you can do with the Navigation Controls.
