Note: Ensure you use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browser during installation.

If you have multiple Google accounts or aliases and want to install your Teams' signature manually to Gmail, you can follow these steps:

Step 1.
​Click Get your signature button in the installation email received from your account owner.

Step 2.

Select the Gmail icon in the list of email clients, then click Copy to clipboard button.

Step 3.

Open the Gmail mailbox and look for the gear icon at the top right corner of the Gmail page. Click on it and select See all settings from the dropdown menu.

Step 4.
When forwarded to the General tab, scroll down until you see the Signature section and click + Create New to create a new signature.


Step 5.
Give a name
to your mail signature and click Create.


Step 6.
Paste
the signature into the signature box using Right-Click, then Paste or CTRL+V on Windows or Cmd+V on Mac. You may also check the box to "Insert the signature before the quoted text" (optional).

Step 7.

Select your signature from the drop-down menu in Signature defaults if you want your signature to appear automatically every time you compose a new message.

Note: You can have different signatures for new emails, replies, and forwards.

Step 8.
Once your Gmail signature is ready, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Save Changes.

Please note that if the Plain text mode is enabled in Gmail's message composer, you cannot use email signatures with images, social media icons, or hyperlinks. However, you can turn off the Plain Text mode by clicking More option (three dots) and deselecting the Plain text mode option. Keep in mind that you may need to wait a few seconds for the changes to apply. You may also need to reload your signature if it has already been changed to the Plain Text format.
