Microsoft Teams is more than a communication platform, and its features are not limited to chat and meetings.

Microsoft Teams can be used to handle daily communication with colleagues, almost replacing internal emails. On the other hand, it can be extended with apps to support business logic that is not included by default in the application, removing the necessity to use third-party tools or bring those tools into the Microsoft Teams context.

This chapter introduces Microsoft Teams apps and explains how to get started with the app store, using available apps as examples.

In the following pages, you will find information about these main topics:

  • Understanding apps in Microsoft Teams
  • Installing apps on Microsoft Teams
  • Getting familiar with Microsoft Teams app types
  • Managing personal apps
  • Uninstalling apps from Microsoft Teams
