This guide walks you through running Leexi natively in Microsoft Teams — both as a personal app (a Leexi tab in your Teams sidebar) and as an in-meeting side panel you can use live during a call.
The steps depend on your role in your organisation. Use the table of contents below to jump to the section that applies to you — administrator sections cover rolling Leexi out to your whole organisation, while end user sections cover recommending Leexi to your organisation (an administrator then approves it) and pinning it for yourself (the latter being done via asking your admin to do so for you).
First, head on over to https://admin.teams.microsoft.com and navigate to “Teams apps” → “Manage apps” → use the search bar to find “Leexi AI” and click on the text of its name
Next, click on the button indicating “Upload file” (found at the top under “New version”)
This brings up a pop-up, asking you to upload a file

You will need to upload a zip file. If you don’t have it already, you can download it using this link:
(Version 1.2.1)

Select the Leexi AI.zip file
You should see an indicator at the top of the page saying “Updated Leexi AI in your list.”
However, notice that the published version hasn’t changed. You’ll need to reload the page to see it
In the same view, click Grant admin consent to approve the app’s permissions for your organisation. This is required for the in-meeting side panel to work during your Teams meetings. You must be the Global Administrator in order to grant consent. If you are not, contact your Global Administrator. You will know depending on whether or not you see the “Grant admin consent button”. If you do not see it, there should be a message saying “Some permissions require the consent of a Global Administrator.”.
<aside> ⚠️
Why this step matters — and what you are actually approving
The Leexi in-meeting side panel signs each user in silently using Teams single sign-on (SSO), then — on that user’s behalf — reads the meeting’s basic details (such as its join link) from Microsoft Graph so the assistant joins the right call. Because that sign-in happens silently, Teams cannot show each user a consent prompt, so an administrator must approve the permissions once for the whole organisation. Without this, the in-meeting side panel shows a permissions error and the assistant cannot be invited.
You approve this inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant — you are not granting access to anything in Leexi’s systems. Leexi is a multi-tenant app, so when you click Grant admin consent, Microsoft automatically creates a local copy of the app — called an Enterprise application — in your directory and records the approval there. Your administrator is approving that local copy; they are not (and cannot be) editing Leexi’s original app registration, which lives in Leexi’s tenant.

You should now have access to a Leexi AI personal tab in the home view of Teams, as well as an in-meeting tab (accessible from the top bar of a Teams meeting)
The update takes a while to propagate through your Organisation’s Teams users. If you have users that have installed the previous version, they will get a banner saying there is an updated version available
The users would see this after clicking on “update” and they can choose to click on “Update now” after reviewing the added permissions
You may also want to pin the Leexi AI personal tab and the in-meeting tab for your Organisation’s Teams users, thus avoiding the redundant:

First, head on over to https://admin.teams.microsoft.com and navigate to “Teams apps” → “Manage apps”. Once there, on the top right of the page you should be able to see an “Actions” dropdown list. Click on “Upload a new app”
After you click on “Upload a new app” you can then follow the instructions from this section onward
