how to achieve private stage view for custom team app in meeting

I’m working on a custom Microsoft Teams app that will be added to a meeting. My goal is to have the app load in a private stage view as a popout when clicked, so that only the user who clicked it can see the content, without broadcasting it to all meeting attendees.

I've created a custom Teams app for meetings, but I'm facing an issue with the viewing behavior. Currently, when a user clicks the app during a meeting, the content first loads in the side panel. The user then has to click a "Share" button to push the content to the main meeting stage, which makes it visible to all attendees.

However, what I want is for the app to immediately open in a private stage view (as a popout) when clicked, without showing anything in the side panel and without requiring the user to manually share it. The content should only be visible to the individual user, not broadcast to the entire meeting.
