Trying to understand MS Teams "Tab App"
Microsoft-
State Preservation: Tabs in Teams are indeed similar to iFrames and do not inherently preserve state. However, you can implement state preservation in your app by storing state information in a database or other persistent storage and retrieving it when the tab is reloaded. This would require additional development work on your part.
-
Notifications: Tabs themselves do not support notifications. However, you can use a bot in conjunction with your tab to send proactive messages to users. The bot can be triggered by events in your tab, such as incoming messages, and send notifications to the user. You can also use the bot to send messages to the user when the tab is not active.
-
Authentication: Tabs do support Single Sign-On (SSO) with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), which provides a seamless sign-in experience for users. However, SSO is not required. You can implement your own authentication mechanism, allowing users to sign in with their credentials as they would on your website.
