oskarkuus -We are unable to repro the scenario. It's working fine from our end.
Microsoft Teams Version 1.5.00.9463 (64-bit). 
Could you please try the following steps :-

Go to the Developer Portal https://dev.teams.microsoft.com/home

+ New App

  • Add details

Add Personal App

  • In Content URL paste in the Form/Sharepoint URL

Publish App too Your org

In Team Admin center  - Managae Apps

  • make sure app is approved and allowed

In Team Admin – Set up policies

  • Add app to Nav bar for all users

This can take several hours to publish app to the nav bar in Teams.
                                       Or

You can try with App Studio with the above steps.

    Hi and thanks for your response.

     

    I have tried to follow your steps.

    First some info:

    I have this version of Teams installed on a windows10 PC: version 1.5.00.9567 (64-bitars).

    I did these steps.

    1. Open Appstudio

    2. Create new app and add details in step 1

     

    3. Go to next step and configure a personal tab


    4. Configure a tab


    5. Go to test and distribute


    6. Download the app

    7. Go to appstore in Microsoft Teams client and upload the downloaded app

     

    8. Test the application



    I know that i cant download the zip and upload it to the store and expect all other users to see it. This is for testing. If it works i can publish it via the admin-center.

    But since the website is not showing i do not know what i am doing wrong... it do point me towards some errror in x-frame-option but afaik sharepoint within the same organisation should be allowed as iFrame?
