To get more done without constantly changing apps, we’re making new Teams apps also available for users in Outlook and Office.com. Users in Targeted Release will be able to acquire and use these apps in Teams, Outlook, or Office.com. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 88942 and 88909.
Apps built for Teams can run in Office.com and Office app for Windows. Users will be able to acquire and use these updated Teams apps (with personal tabs) without leaving Office.com and Office app for Windows.
Apps built for Teams can also run in Outlook now. Outlook users will be able to acquire and use these updated Teams apps (with personal tabs and/or search-based message extensions) without leaving Outlook.
When this will happen
- Targeted release (Office): will begin rolling out in late February and is expected to complete rollout by late May.
- Targeted release (Outlook): will begin rolling out in late March and is expected to complete rollout by late May.
How this will affect your organization
Users in Targeted Release will soon see apps available in Outlook and Office.com that were previously available only in Teams. These new apps are subject to the same Teams administration policies available at admin.teams.microsoft.com. Apps may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies.
What you need to do to prepare
You might want to notify your users about this change and update your training and documentation as appropriate.
Microsoft have published additional guidance to manage access to Teams apps across Microsoft 365.
