How to change "Go to Website" Globe Icon link in ms teams app

Question

I have created a spfx webpart that i am using as teams app as well. I have added the app in the app catalog and click the "Sync to Teams" . This creates the team app as well the app manifest file. Is there a way to change the default website. I dont see the option to do the same even in teams admin center under app management. Is there any change that i can make in my spfx project to do so.

Hi @Pushpanjay Umrao ,

You can achieve this by upgrading framework solution to V1.11.0 and above, then you can specify an additional developer section in package-solution.json file e.g. below, deploy your package as usual and sync to teams. No need to create separate manifest file.

"developer": {
"name": "Contoso",
"privacyUrl": "https://contoso.com/privacy",
"termsOfUseUrl": "https://contoso.com/terms-of-use",
"websiteUrl": "https://contoso.com/my-app",
"mpnId": "000000"
}

Hello, @Pushpanjay Umrao ,

To change other properties (such as the website url), you need to use your own Microsoft Teams app manifest & app package instead of letting SharePoint Online dynamically create it.

You could refer to this article：https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/deployment-spfx-teams-solutions

The Sync to Teams button will creat the Microsoft Teams app manifest, and only few properties can be set in teams:

Besides, the app studio in Teams is a good tool to create app manifest & app package: https://microsoft.github.io/botframework-solutions/clients-and-channels/tutorials/enable-teams/4-create-app-manifest/

Hi, @Pushpanjay Umrao ,

The id doesn't matter. And the file must be named TeamsSPFxApp.zip and placed in the ./src/teams folder.

Besides, this feature is only available in SharePoint Framework new version v1.12.1: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/release-1.12.1

So, if you are using v1.11.0, you need to upgrade projects from v1.11.0 to v1.12.1.
