Allow Guest User to use Custom App (Static tabs)?

Question

Goal: guest Users can use Custom App with static tabs - possible?

Hello, would appreciate advice please.

I made a Teams app with 2 static tabs, loaded onto my Tenant as a Custom App. It works well for 'home' Tenant users.

I have some guest Users in a "guests" Team, they have paid subscriptions on their home Tenants.

Should I be able to add my Custom App to the "guests" Team in order for them to use it? Or do I need to do any extra steps or mods to the app? So far I have had no success with this when logging into the "guest" Team using a test account.

Thank you.

As a guest User you can not add Apps/Tabs to the channel. if the Site Owner/Admin adds the Lists app to the channel and Guset in same tenant then guest user can use the Tab/App. Teams admins control the features available to guests.

Here some guest capabilities provided by teams-
