App studio for Teams vs Powerapps studio?
I´m deciding to create a app for Teams or for PowerApps. I have one question - can I develop the same things in App studio for Teams as what I can do in PowerApps? (canvas app). Or is App stu...
- Aug 29, 2021Let me try for the last time to explain it ;-):
(1) Teams Apps Studio: It's not for building Apps, but for creating the packages to deploy Apps in Teams.
(2) Power Apps Studio in Teams: It's for building Power Apps in the scope of Teams, i.e, Microsoft Dataverse for Teams. A Power App create in Power Apps Studio in Teams cannot be used outside of Teams.
(3) "Global" Power Apps Studio: It's for building Power Apps that can be used standalone through the browser, that can be deployed to Teams as a Personal App or that can be embedded in Teams through a Power Apps Tab or in a SharePoint Site through the Power Apps Tab

Usually you package the app depending what type it is via app studio. This can be a power apps app for example!
- kranisAug 28, 2021Copper ContributorThanks for quick reply. My question is weather if I can build the same things in boths studios?
- Aug 29, 2021No, you cannot build the same thing in both studios. The differences are quite clear:
1) Teams App Studio is just to create the package for your native Apps.
2) Power Apps Studio is just to create Power Apps in Microsoft Dataverse for Teams- kranisAug 29, 2021Copper Contributor
thanks for your reply jcgonzalezmartin
However, it´s not clear at all, because in Teams you can add a Power app (canvas app) which can access Dataverse.Is Teams App Studio more limited when it comes to functionality? Or is it same as Power Apps Studio?
