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.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it.
