Add tab to chat

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Add (pin) a tab to the specified chat. The corresponding app must already be installed in the chat.

Notes:

  • If the chat is associated with an onlineMeeting instance, then the tab is effectively added to the meeting.
  • If the app manifest for a given appId contains a static tab that matches the current scope (chat/groupChat), the static tab is pinned by default.
