Teams apps blocked by default?

I have a customer who has a large of number of apps which are set to "Blocked" in the Teams tenant app catalog. As far as they know, they did not intentionally block these apps but rather it seems they were blocked by default (about 193 out of 504 apps).

 

I was under the impression that all apps were "Allowed" by default but could be set to Blocked by a Teams Admin. Anyone else experience this issue? Thanks!

    That would be my understanding too.  In my own Teams Admin Center I have never touched apps, but all 504 built in are allowed by default.  So it would seem likely that in your example someone has explicitly blocked some (intentionally or unintentionally).

      PeterRising thank you. I was able to confirm with my customer's Teams administrator that these apps had been previously blocked by another services partner, so exactly what you described. Thanks again!
