Hey @Julie Elmuccio, great news with the universe of apps expanding so greatly.

 

When it comes to Apps in MS Teams following questions are still on the table:

  1. Corporate communications is asking how can we establish a sort of moderation/control of potentially difamatory content surfaced by some of these public apps ? 
  2. Tenant (fairly acceptable so far) > Team > Channel based governance of which apps to be allowed for consumption.
  3. Monitoring activation of these apps via traditional tools, e.g. Cloud App Security listing, not at all visible currently, and a great issue for medium/large enterprises ?

And also - i do not see the "Who" bot in neither of my tenants (despite being both in Targeted release ). Anything special to do to get access, or its simply a matter of rollout timing.

 

Thank you in advance,

The Who bot isn’t like your usual bot setup. It’s on the left hand side in the Elipsis menu and it’s on there by default with the latest update. Once you click that it sets up. If it’s not there then you have external app off on tenant?

The desktop version of Teams for Windows & InVision seem to clash. It's giving a Warning: WebGL not supported issue.

This is great, too sad that we are still not able to invite guests without an Microsoft Office Acc. :\

Or I'm wrong?

Still not available. It was listed as February on the roadmap item but I remember when it was August and well it’s way past that so hold thT for what it is. Hopefully they got a solution that works and is getting close.

If we disable external Apps in our tenant how can we let users know the existence of an App? The purpose here is this disable by default all apps but let users know the list of available apps that can be used and ask IT to enable it. But can't find anywhere else than in Teams/Store the list of apps. Thanks.

We're proud to be a part of the Teams community with the +BI Collaboration Connector! Bulk load your Power BI items in SharePoint and collaborate more deeply.

Why does the desktop version not support WebGL?
