Power BI and Microsoft Teams are enabling you to view and analyze your personal Microsoft Teams activity in 1-click with a new Power BI ‘Teams activity analytics’ report – now in preview.
To try it out, just open the Power BI app in Teams, navigate to the create tab, and click โAnalyze your Teams dataโ.
Automatically, Power BI will connect you to your personal activity data from Teams and get you started with an out-of-the box report designed to help you track your key activity in Teams.
The report helps you understand metrics like the number of meetings youโve participated in, how much time youโve spent sharing audio and video, and how many messages youโve been sending. Additionally, you can see a summary of the activity for the Teams youโre a member.
Microsoft Teams has become indispensable to how we get work done and stay connected with our colleagues. This new Power BI report connects you directly to your personal Teams activity data to help you improve how you work in Teams.
Analyze your Teams Data
The option to create your personal Teams activity report is available in the Power BI app for Teams in the create tab.
Clicking the Analyze your Teams data option automatically creates your report and populates it with your personal data. In the report you’ll find 3 pages to explore: My activity, Team activity, and Team activity details.
The โMy Activityโ page letโs you see how many meetings youโve been in, how much time youโve spent sharing your screen, audio and video, and how many chat and channel messages youโve sent.
The โTeam activityโ page letโs you see summary metrics for the teams youโre a member of.
And the โTeam activity detailsโ page lets you drill into a specific Team to see the overall trend for active users and engagement, as well as a smart narrative for the Team.
You can learn more about the specific Teams metrics and data Power BI connects to here.
The Teams activity analytics report is added your โMy Workspaceโ and can be accessed, favorited, and customized like any other Power BI report. Itโs set to refresh once a day to pull in your latest Teams activity.
The Teams activity analytics report is currently only available in English.
Weโre already working on some improvements to the report โ including adding detailed metrics for the Teams channels youโre a member of. If there are other enhancements or improvements youโd like to see please let us know in the comments or through the Power BI Ideas forum.
