Demos delivered in this session

• Kudos App sample using Teams Activity Feed API in Microsoft Graph – showcases how to build a solution leveraging the Teams Activity Feed API for sending notifications to selected users.  See how activities (notifications) are gated in the manifest.  Create a Kudos app (100 lines code) with appropriate Graph services permissions, layout UI using Fluent UI components, add out-of-box controls from Microsoft Graph Toolkit.  Activity feed is now a fully supported workload.    

• Building a digital asset / document repository management app for Microsoft Teams – Document manager – an asset management system sample app that makes use of Teams platform capabilities to simplify searching, retrieving, sharing, contributing, and governing assets.  Uses messaging extensions to find documents, task module to upload documents, Graph APIs, and creates awareness of / gains approvals on assets leveraging user specific views in Adaptive Cards.  Stores documents awaiting approval in staging folder in library. 

• Introduction to Microsoft Teams Toolkit v2 – helps developers create and deploy Teams apps with integrated Identity, access to cloud storage, data from Microsoft Graph, and other services in Azure and M365 with a “zero-configuration” approach (single-line statements and no side trips to Azure and ADD) to the developer experience.  Efficiently configures front-end, back-end, bot at same time.   Simplifies creating proof-of-concepts!    Get the toolkit through the Extensions Marketplace in VS Code.
