Starting a Trial – Live Assist for 365 Support

Prerequisites

To start a trial of Live Assist for Microsoft Dynamics 365, ensure the following:

That your organization meets the minimum requirements
That your user has the correct roles to install Live Assist for Dynamics 365.
That your installation user has a configured first and last name in Office 365—blank names lead to a # substitution in Dynamics 365, and this causes problems in Live Assist. Configure all Live Assist-enabled users with both first and last names.

To start a trial

In your office portal, ensure that your user is a global administrator.
1. To verify and modify the user as the global administrator on Power Platform Admin Center. Open the App launcher in Dynamics 365, then select the Microsoft Admin Center.
