- ChrisF1Copper Contributor3rd Party Apps for federated instances? Consider Jira across Teams instances - We have a license but a partner doesn't. Is that a use case that works?
- ChrisF1Copper ContributorAnswer - yes, depending on License Restriction of App Developer. Enabled by default. "Today I learned".
- EsmondChinCopper ContributorAs a platform is there a vision for Microsoft Teams channels/chats to have integrations with other collaboration platforms like Slack?
- dwaltnerBrass ContributorPartial functionality is why we end up not using many 3rd party apps. We have encourage adding a browser tab to the Team that points to the web-based app, so users have all the functionality they need.
- FTsabrovASCopper ContributorWill 3rd party apps work in shared channels?
- DoraChanFormer EmployeeYes. We’re aiming to support all app capabilities in shared channels at GA of the feature.
- MPoseinerCopper ContributorPrivate Channel has release a long time now. but Shared (Connect Channel) is in preview.
- MPoseinerCopper ContributorRegarding Microsoft Planner inside private channels. This is not working and more the question is - why? We do not want to implement 3rd party apps and pay money and check all the data privacy regulations, because we are located at Germany.
- ChrisF1Copper Contributor+1 for the Jira integration. It's made a world of difference for our support desk employees.
- thinkfirstCopper ContributorI work a lot with local government in the UK, it would be great to have some kind of government certification for external apps that included where the data is stored, as this is always a huge issue for Councils - is this something that could be considered?
- dwaltnerBrass ContributorWill apps ever work in Private channels? We have several groups that would like Planner, Shifts, etc. to work in Private channels to practice need to know. Having separate Teams to allow this functionality is Kludgy and is counter what Teams should be.
- DoraChanFormer EmployeeThis is a known issue. Tabs work today, but not all apps have added private channel support (they need to respect the new membership of these channels). Bots and message extensions are in progress.
