Microsoft Teams adds third-party apps in meetings

Microsoft announced that third-party app developers will be allowed to integrate their creations into the Microsoft Teams meeting experience. Apps are going to be added to Teams but there will be blocked by default. The IT managers will first need to allow third-party apps then review them and finally allow them to be used by their company.

They will even see this disclaimer: However, if they pass the test, the new apps could be integrated even into Teams meetings during video calls. Your organization’s use of each third party app is subject to that app’s terms and conditions and privacy statement. When you enable Allow third party apps in Microsoft Teams, you acknowledge that you are responsible to review each app’s terms to determine whether they meet the needs of you organization. Learn more) The third-party apps will also be able to provide content during calls and even display notifications. This is a huge step for Microsoft Teams and we can’t wait to see how this will turn out.
