PowerApp disappears after adding to Team Channel Tab

Question

Having a huge issue here that has me extremely frustrated over the last month or so and I cant seem to find an answer online. I have created a private Team on Microsoft Teams and am the owner. Everytime I attempt to add my PowerApp to the tab within the team, it remains for a few seconds and then quickly disappears. I have a secondary Team Channel of which I am an owner and have no issue adding an application.

I have created two additional Test Teams where the same issue arises, unable to attach a PowerApp to the team tab.

I have attempted to uninstall powerapps and add again, but the issue still arises. Is anyone else having an issue with this, have an idea of what is going on, or have a solution to the problem?

Hi @Christopher Bill

1. Please try to clear the team cache and restart Teams.

2. Select the specified App in the Apps menu of the PowerApps web client and click Add to Teams.

3.You can use the Website tab instead of the PowerApps tab in the channel, just enter the URL of the specified App. Website tab has good stability and will not disappear.

To view the URL of an App, select the specified App in the Apps menu of the PowerApps web client and click the three-dot button on the right and select Details.

Answered my own question. Bit of a pain and not very intuitive. If you start a new team, you must first add powerapps to the team channel. I had to do this by creating a blank application specifically for my team channel which "installed" powerapps for the channel itself. Only then could I add my previously created application. I wish you could simply add any application to the channel to "install" powerapps.
