Motimate: How to set up Microsoft SSO?

If your organization uses Microsoft Azure and Office 365, we highly recommend enabling Microsoft SSO in Azure in order to offer your users the simplest login experience in Motimate.

Setting up Microsoft SSO with Motimate

1. Log in to your Microsoft Azure Portal with a Microsoft Azure Admin account.

3. A new page for App Registration setting appear. Here you should click New Registration at the top of the page.
    
4. Give the following Name to the new application: Motimate SSO.
    
5. Then make sure that Support Account Types is set to the first option: Accounts in this organizational directory only (Single tenant).
    

6. Enter the following Redirect URI under Web:

   https://motimate.app/{identifier}/external-auth-completed

   Replace {identifier} with your organization's identifier. You'll easily see it in your URL when you log in to your Motimate account.
