# Install Reminds Pro in Microsoft Teams

Reminds Pro helps you and your team stay on track by creating and managing reminders directly inside Microsoft Teams. You can use it privately as a personal app or add it to a shared space so a whole channel, group chat, or meeting works from the same list of reminders. This guide walks you through both setups and shows you how to schedule your first reminder.
