How to Install the Microsoft 365 Connector (for Admins & IT Teams)

In this article, you will learn how to install MediaValet's new Microsoft 365 connector for Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, and how to identify it in your add-in ribbon.

The connector allows users to:

Search, browse, and insert approved images directly within Microsoft 365
Insert high-quality images by default
Carry alt text into Microsoft 365 automatically with inserted assets
Find the right content using MediaValet search, including Smart Image Search
Work across both web and desktop applications
Stay on-brand and within existing permissions—users only see approved assets their MediaValet account is permitted to access

Before you begin

Confirm the following with your MediaValet representative:

The Microsoft Office 365 integration is enabled for your MediaValet library

NOTE

You'll need a Microsoft 365 admin account to install the MediaValet for Office app for your organization/users. You may require a representative on your IT team for support.

Step 1: Install the connector in the Microsoft Admin Center

Log in to the Microsoft Admin Center
Follow the following instructions to install our “MediaValet for Office” connector

NOTE

Changes in the Microsoft Admin Center may take up to 24 hours for all add-in deployment/removal to reflect for all users.

Step 2: Removing the connector in the Microsoft Admin Center

If your organization is currently using the legacy connector, please follow the instructions to remove the add-in from the admin center.

Step 4: Assigning Integration Licenses

Once you have installed the MediaValet for Office app, you can now assign integration licenses to your users. This is easy to do through the Settings menu of your MediaValet library.

Simply follow the steps in this article.

Step 5: Let your team know!

Once you have the new connector installed in your Microsoft Admin Center, the new connector will appear in your users’s add-in ribbon. All they have to do is click on the connector and sign-in to MediaValet!

Step 6: (Optional): Removing the legacy MediaValet connector

Even after removing the legacy connector in the Admin Center, there may be rare cases where you or your users see both connectors in the app ribbon. This is likely because you or your users manually installed the connector individually at some point.

To remove the legacy MediaValet connector, follow the following steps:

Go to your add-ins and click Manage

2. Locate the legacy MediaValet connector and delete, “MediaValet”

What happens if I do not remove the legacy connector?

You do not need to remove the legacy connector for the new one to work — both can run side by side. Once you're comfortable with the new connector, it is recommended to remove the legacy connector as it will no longer be supported or updated.
