Within Microsoft Teams there are many apps, but what do they all do and how can they help you? In this post I’m giving a complete overview of the currently available apps .
Introduction to Apps in Microsoft Teams
There are 3 places where apps can appear.
- Tabs
- Bots
- Connectors
Depending on the app that you select you may be able to decide where to add the app.
You can either add the app just for yourself, or you can add it to a specific team within your Microsoft Teams tenant.
When you select Apps for Me you will find that they appear in the “Apps Launcher” within Microsoft Teams.
Ok, so we can add apps to different places within Microsoft Teams. But what do these apps do?
A lot of these apps seems to have unclear names. Something like AceBot, AirBrake, Aha! and Bitbucket might not be obvious to your users.
There are many Connectors that quite often only collect information from their products/apps and display stats in Microsoft Teams. Other apps are more standalone and help you within teams to complete all sorts of tasks.
Remember my post about Microsoft Teams vs Classic Intranet? Well in the list of apps that you find below you will find a lot of bits that we used to implement on our intranet that would be potentially useful however often clutter our home pages. Now that we implement all of this as separate apps you will find that the ‘home page is less cluttered as you will only visit those apps that you want to use.
Latest Update: 
Apps Launcher in the Banner has now been changed in the developer preview. The apps that you have installed for yourself will now appear in the …-banner.
To get new apps installed you will need to go to the Get apps. option
