Microsoft Teams app overview

The Microsoft Teams app strengthens your team or project collaboration by integrating your chat discussions into your digital home. It allows you to mirror specific channels from any team to keep up with the latest project updates and send messages without needing to switch platforms.

The app shows complete message histories, including attachments and replies, so you have full context for every conversation. Reactions to messages are not shown.

Read the Apps overview for general information on apps, including permissions related to apps. Furthermore, refer to Adding apps for information on how to add an app.

  • Setting up a Microsoft Teams app: You have to set up a Microsoft Teams app to use it. You need to be an admin of the page or community and have "Manage apps of a page/community" permission to configure the app. Learn more in this article:
