Create custom app for show owa mailbox and calendar in tabs in Teams
Hello everyone, I'm creating a custom app for teams to display owa's inbox and calendar, each in a tab. I've added the necessary permissions and the app works fine in Team Web, but it doesn't show me anything from the Teams desktop client. Can anybody help me? I have included the owa identifier in the app and it should show the windows from the desktop client.

Engineering team has said that this is not a supported flow. It is strongly advised not to ship an app like this to real customers. App developers should only be embedding their own sites in Teams Apps after integrating them with SDK and validating them inside of Teams. The Outlook web app is not optimized to run inside of Teams. So, wrapping it in Teams App manifest will not make it handle authentication, theming, accessibility, etc. correctly.
Thanks,
Meghana

Ramon_Borja - We are also able to repro this issue. We created 2 static tabs where we gave the below links for mailbox and outlook calendar. Those tabs are loading fine on Web but not on Desktop.
- "contentUrl": "https://outlook.office.com/mail/"
- "contentUrl": "https://outlook.office.com/calendar/view/month"

Teams Web :
Could you please confirm if you are also doing the same?
- Yes, the same thing happens to me.I have specified exchange id to have login authorization, but it doesn't work on desktop client: 00000002-0000-0ff1-ce00-000000000000
