About teams

Microsoft Teams is where your team communicates, assigns work, runs meetings, and moves projects forward. For most professional teams, the workday starts and ends inside Teams. But time doesn't track itself there. Hours spent in meetings, on tasks, reviewing deliverables: they happen inside Teams and disappear without a record. Most teams reconstruct the week from memory, estimates drift, and billable hours slip through without ever making it into an invoice. TrackingTime fixes that from the inside. Install the tab, connect your Planner tasks, link your Azure DevOps work items, add the browser extension to Word and Excel, and every hour your team works is logged, attributed to the right project and client, and ready for timesheets and billing without any manual work at the end of the week.

How do I track time in Microsoft Teams?

To track time in Microsoft Teams, install the TrackingTime tab from the Microsoft Teams Apps section and add it to your channel. Once set up, your team can start and stop timers, log hours manually, and review timesheets directly inside Teams without switching to another tool. Setup takes about two minutes.

Does TrackingTime work with Microsoft Planner and Azure DevOps?

Yes. TrackingTime integrates with both Microsoft Planner and Azure DevOps. Tasks sync automatically so your team can track time directly from Planner tasks or ADO work items, user stories, and sprints. Every hour logged connects to a project, a client, and a budget without leaving the existing workflow.

Can I track time in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint?

Yes. TrackingTime runs as a browser extension inside Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and every other Microsoft 365 app your team uses. Open the file, start the timer. Hours land in the right project automatically without switching tools or logging entries manually.

Does TrackingTime work with Outlook Calendar?

Yes. TrackingTime imports your Outlook Calendar events as time entries automatically. Client meetings, internal calls, and recurring events become time entries attributed to the right project, so billable meeting time no longer disappears from your reports.

Can I connect TrackingTime to Power BI?

Yes. TrackingTime connects to Power BI so your tracked hours become live dashboards. Hours by client, retainer consumption, billable vs. non-billable time, and budget vs. actual data flow directly into your existing Microsoft reporting setup.

Does TrackingTime work with Microsoft Entra ID?

Yes. TrackingTime supports Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) for single sign-on and user provisioning. Teams using Microsoft 365 for identity management can onboard TrackingTime without creating separate accounts or managing credentials outside their existing setup.
