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)...

Hi cmbalderrama - The "website" app in a tab channel is a third party app which allows to add websites as a tab to a channel. Where as personal tab is a custom app which allows only Iframable webpages to as a tab.

    cmbalderrama Have you gotten this to work?  I am trying to add a few webpages and they all keep failing.  I have been trying the public pages route and internal pages.  Nothing will load. Do you have a solution?

    Hi Mamatha-MSFT 
    This is what I get:

     

    But it's ok, because I also need to add another pages (that are not google) as tabs and if there is no way to put a website without an iframe as a personal tab it's not going to work for me.

    I though there might be another way, (the way they do it on the website app inside tab team channel, because the same pages does work there) . Maybe that should be a new requirement for Teams.

    But thanks anyway

    Hi, is there anything else that you added or changed in the app studio? Because I put the same URL but for me it doesn't load

    Thanks
