Browse and install work apps in the Intune Company Portal app for Windows. This article describes how to install, view, and share work apps from Company Portal.

Types of apps

There are two types of apps available in Company Portal: optional apps and required apps.

Optional apps are selected by your organization and deemed useful and appropriate for work or school. These apps are available to you, but it's up to you to install them.

Required apps are necessary for work and school and are deployed directly to your work device. These apps are automatically installed for you without intervention. Required apps appear in your installed apps list alongside the optional apps you install.

To find out which installed apps are required:

  1. Sign into the Company Portal app with your work or school account.
  2. Go to Downloads & updates. Screenshot of the Downloads & updates page for the Company Portal app for Windows.
  3. In the table, look under the column Required by your organization. A yes means that the app is required on your enrolled device.

Install apps

Before you begin, install Intune Company Portal for Windows from the Microsoft Store.

  1. Sign in to the Company Portal app on your work or school device. You'll see the latest notifications on the Home page. Screenshot of the Home page with notifications in the Company Portal app for Windows.

  2. You can access available apps from the following places in Company Portal:

    • Home: Go to Home to view your organization's featured apps.
    • Apps: Go to Apps to view, sort, and filter through all available apps.
    • App categories: Go to App categories to browse apps by type or function. Apps in this area are sorted into categories picked by your organization, like featured, education, and productivity.
    • Search for apps: Use the static search bar in the navigation pane to search apps by name or publisher.

  3. Select an app, and then choose Install. The app's installation status changes to Installing while the app installation occurs, then Installed when installation is done. Select Retry if a required app fails to install and the option to retry is available. It could take up to ten minutes for the installation status to update itself.
