Microsoft Graph - List apps in chat - 404 UnknownError

Question

In Microsoft Graph, I would like to list all Teams apps associated to an onlineMeeting (to its chat actually).

According to List apps in chat - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Learn, this is supported with the following request : GET /chats/{chat-id}/installedApps

There is a note saying that if the chat is associated with an onlineMeeting instance, then, effectively, the teamsApps installed in the meeting will be listed. That should work.

However, I'm getting a 404 with UnknownError as the error.code on my end.

The right permission (TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteForChat) is granted (Chat.ReadWrite is granted as well). Testing from Graph Explorer from now.

Please note that the following is working to get chat messages with the same chat-id : GET /chats/{chat-id}/messages or the following to get chat members : GET /chats/{chat-id}/members

I've tried the endpoint POST /chats/{chat-id}/installedApps to add an app to the chat as well but I'm getting the same kind of 404 (documented on Add app to chat - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Learn).

Any advice?

Thanks

Hello @Benjiiim -Listing installed apps in a chat (GET /chats/{chat-id}/installedApps) works for group chats and 1:1 chats. For meeting chats (chats created for online meetings), this API is not fully supported for all tenants and scenarios. The 404 error with UnknownError is a common symptom when the API is not supported for the chat type or the app context.
Meeting chats are a special type of chat in Teams, and the Graph API support for listing or adding apps to these chats is limited and sometimes only available for certain Microsoft-internal or preview tenants.
There is no supported workaround to list or add apps to a meeting chat via Microsoft Graph in most production/dev tenants.If you need to automate app installation for meetings, this is not currently possible via Graph API.

Hello Sayali-MSFT​&nbsp;Thanks for your quick answer and these insights.Would you mind sharing an official documentation mentioning this restriction or improve the official documentation to mention this?All the related pages from the Microsoft Graph documentation says things like "Note: If the chat is associated with an onlineMeeting instance, then, effectively, the teamsApps installed in the meeting will be listed."18 occurences of this note according to a GitHub Code search and nothing explaining that this is only available to Microsoft-internal or preview tenants.Furthermore, there is a 4 years old article in the official Microsoft Azure Medium blog, written by a Software Engineer at Microsoft explaining how you can add an app to a Teams meeting using these APIs:&nbsp;Adding Custom App to Microsoft Teams Meeting Using Microsoft Graph APIs. | by Manish Saluja | Microsoft Azure | Medium. How can this article have been up for so long if these APIs are not really available?Can you share the plans around these APIs to make them available for external developers?Thanks again
