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.

I was able to get it fixed (after actually reading the instructions 🙄). 
There's no longer an API string.  After enabling the Third-party app API in the Teams settings, simply start a Teams meeting, then on your Stream Deck or other device click any Teams button.  The Teams meeting will ask you to approve the connection.  Done!

Here are the instructions:  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/connect-to-third-party-devices-in-microsoft-teams-aabca9f2-47bb-407f-9f9b-81a104a883d6?storagetype=live
