Mobile use of the app

absentify is fully accessible on mobile devices through Microsoft Teams. There’s no need for employees to install anything separately – the app is centrally deployed by Microsoft 365 administrators, making rollout simple and streamlined.

​

Central deployment via Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams admins can make absentify available in Teams for all employees. Once enabled, it can be accessed on both desktop and mobile – no manual installation required.
