Difference between teams app tab and website tab inside team channel

When I try to create an app in app studio and put a webpage URL in a personal tab, It won't load, doesn't show anything (I read that is because most of the pages won't allow to be embed in an iframe) . But when I create a new tab inside a teams channel and I use the "website" app it does load the sames pages, so how are they embedding the pages inside that tab and how is it different from the personal tab in a new app. 

 

Is there a way to show a website in a new app that doesn't use iframe or that works like in the teams channel tab?

Thanks

      Hi,

      well I'm trying to embed some internal pages, but I have tried with any pages, even google, when I put the URL in the personal tab when creating an app in app studio in won't show anything, but when I put the same URL in the teams channel tab with the website app it shows the page and work.

      this is with the personal tab in app studio:

      doesn't load anything but the link to go to website does work (so no problem with the url)

       and this in the teams channel tab:

        For a Teams app you would need to also list all the possible domains that would be accessed in the valid url section. For SharePoint pages I use the following

         

            "validDomains": [
                "<yourdomain>.sharepoint.com",
                "msft.spoppe.com",
                "resourceseng.blob.core.windows.net",
                "spoppe-a.akamaihd.net",
                "spoprod-a.akamaihd.net",
                "*.sharepoint-df.com",
                "*.sharepoint.com",
                "*.login.microsoftonline.com"
            ],
