[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change.]
You can share an app you've created by embedding it directly into Microsoft Teams. When completed, users can select + to add your app to any of your team channels or conversations in the team you are in. The app appears as a tile under Tabs for your team.
Important
- This is a preview feature.
- Preview features aren’t meant for production use and may have restricted functionality. These features are available before an official release so that customers can get early access and provide feedback.
Prerequisites
- You need a valid Power Apps license.
- To embed an app into Teams, you need an existing app created using Power Apps.
