# Create your first MS Teams app

Create an Aurinko account, set up your app, enable necessary APIs, and start using your MS Teams app by accessing the Aurinko API.

First, create an account in the [Aurinko portal](https://app.aurinko.io/). <br>

Create your app, then check API/features that should be activated for your new app. Besides 'Messaging' and 'End usersessions' your addin may need to access CRM APIs.

Once you've installed the app, opened its tab, and confirmed your id, you'll see a new user record in Aurinko:
