Custom app not available in meeting configuration

Hi,

 

I am developing a custom app for teams, and after adding it to my organization, I can’t get the meeting integration working as I’d like.

 

If I go to the ‘apps’ button in the lower left corner of teams, my app is visible and I can ‘add to a team’ or ‘add to a meeting’.

If I choose this option, once in the meeting everything is working fine.

 

But if I first create a meeting and then try to add an app using the + button in the meeting configuration or the … in the chat after joining the meeting, my app is not visible at all.

 

My manifest already specifies groupchat and meetingSidePanel :

"configurableTabs": [{
    "configurationUrl": "...",
    "canUpdateConfiguration": true,
    "scopes": ["team", "groupchat"],
    "context": ["channelTab", "meetingSidePanel"]
}]

 

Do I have to add another option to get my app visible in the meeting configuration’s + menu ?

 

Thanks

    Hi maba91, You need to mention "meetingSurfaces" object in your manifest as shown in below

    "configurableTabs": [
{
"configurationUrl": "URL",
"canUpdateConfiguration": true,
"scopes": [
"groupchat",
"team"
],
"meetingSurfaces": [
"sidePanel"
],
"context": [
"meetingSidePanel",
"channelTab",
"privateChatTab",
"meetingChatTab",
"meetingDetailsTab",
"meetingSidePanel"
]
}
]

      Hi Mamatha-MSFT, I just gave it a try and yes, after adding "meetingSurfaces": ["sidePanel"] and "meetingDetailsTab" in context, my app is now visible in the meeting '+' menu.

      Thanks for your help !

        maba91 I ran into the same issue, I applied the same config (context and meetingSurfaces) but I still can't add the app during a meeting.

         

        I followed steps here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/sbs-meetings-stage-view

         

        Did anything change since the last post?

    I have the same issue. No matter what settings in the Manifest nothing seems to change even when the Teams org is set to use beta features.
