Microsoft Teams is accessible across Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows systems and devices. It’s also compatible with popular web browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge.
How are apps used in Microsoft Teams?
There are four ways to use apps in Microsoft Teams:
In a dedicated tab: You can add apps to dedicated tabs at the top of channels or chats. To do this, select the + sign at the top of the channel or chat and then select the app that you want to add.
Inside a chat: You can also insert content from apps directly into chats. To do this, open a chat and then click on the Insert button. In the Insert menu, select the app that you want to insert.
Via connectors: Some apps, called connectors, can send notifications and information to Teams channels. For example, you can connect Yammer, Twitter, or project management software to Teams via connectors.
Outside Teams: You can also get a global view of all the information held in an app from inside Teams. To do this, select the ellipsis in the menu ribbon to the far left of your screen and then select the app that you want to view. If you’re using Teams on a mobile device, you can find this option at the bottom of your screen.
