Teams app - open a webpage?

I want to create an simple app in Teams that just opens a webpage in Teams.

 

I want users to click on a icon in the left menu and a webpage should load.

 

How can i do this?

 

I have tried using the app manifest in app studio

but i cant get that app to work, nothing happens when i try to run it.

 

i have tried to upload a powerapp that launch a website.

but that website just opens in the browser and not in teams.

 

How to solve this?

  • Oskar Kuus I assume you've set this up as a "Tab" in your app, and as a "personal" tab? Either way, not every web page can be embedded as a tab in this manner - have a look at the Tab requirements here, especially the last point, that the page needs to reference the  Javascript sdk and then call `microsoftTeams.initialize()`. If this is a page you don't own, what you could do as a workaround is to host your own page, which simply iframes in the final page.
