Teams - Enable API disappeared in Settings [Elgato Steamdeck]

Hi there   I have an Elgato Streamdeck and it was great to read a Teams Plugin was available.   The instructions say you need to enable the API in Settings > Privacy which wasn't initially there ...

    techDavidWright, apparently there's a security issue that required the plugin to be pulled according to Elgato Support:

    "The Microsoft Teams plugin has been temporarily removed from the Stream Deck store.

    Microsoft is working on fixing a security-related issue and will relist the plugin once the issue has been resolved. Thank you for your patience."

    D.C.

     

    P.S. I don't work on Teams; I'm just another follow user who ordered a Stream Deck because the plugin was released.

    The preview and developer views break the API settings.  The new preview "New Team" is missing the API - but even if you revert to the "old teams", and your API settings come back, it doesn't work. 

    I found that if you go to "about" and can see "developer mode" - particularly if it's ticked - but I found that it was impossible to untick it! - then the API doesn't work. (actually in the background it reports an error that the "API is disabled" 

    The thing that helped the most was this post https://github.com/L-C-P/TouchPortalTeamsPlugin/issues/1#issuecomment-1603856454

     

    along with googling "can't switch out of developer mode"

    Once I'd disabled the previews on the Teams Admin site, waited a day or so, then relaunched teams, all was well again. looks like the preview or developer modes have got a disabled API (potentially to avoid undetermined exploits) - though it would have been INCREDIBLY helpful if Microsoft had actually mentioned this somewhere (ya know, like in the API enable/disable dialog!!!)

    In any case mine is working after managing to revert out of all preview/developer mode features. Happy Days

      Do you have any information how this should work?

      The menu 3rd party API is not present in my Teams version

      It would be great if the API will be available in the new teams.
      As now more and more Aps show up, maybe there is a chance for the API as well.
      Maybe someone from Microsoft give us a hint.
