⚡ Option 1 — Local Web Server (Recommended, 1 minute)
Serve the tracker from http://localhost:8080 — no installation needed if Python is installed.
STEP 1 — Open Command Prompt (Win+R → type cmd → Enter)
STEP 2 — Navigate to your Downloads folder:
cd %USERPROFILE%\Downloads
STEP 3 — Start the server:
python -m http.server 8080
STEP 4 — Open in Edge/Chrome:
http://localhost:8080/StudioTracker.html
STEP 5 — Update Azure AD Redirect URI to:
http://localhost:8080
📌 Keep the Command Prompt window open while using the tracker. The server stops when you close it.
📌 Don't have Python? Download from python.org — it's free and takes 2 minutes to install.
☁ Option 2 — Host on SharePoint (Best for teams)
Upload to SharePoint and access via a real URL. Everyone on the team uses the same link.
1
Go to your SharePoint site → Documents library → Upload → Files → select StudioTracker.html
2
Right-click the uploaded file → Copy link. The URL looks like:
https://comgroupltd.sharepoint.com/sites/YourSite/Shared Documents/StudioTracker.html
3
Go to portal.azure.com → Studio Tracker app → Authentication → Under Single-page application → change the redirect URI to your SharePoint file URL
4
Bookmark the SharePoint URL. Share it with colleagues. Everyone signs in with their Microsoft 365 account — authentication works perfectly.
✓ Best option for teams · ✓ Always the same link · ✓ Authentication works perfectly · ✓ Team sync works natively
