Getting started on building Microsoft Teams meeting apps – step through meeting extensions - pre-meeting (tab – a poll), in-meeting (side panel tab, pop-up, extension, and bot) and post-meeting (tab). Understand needed manifest updates. Microsoft Forms is a great meeting extension. Demo - create a meeting, add the Forms app to it and observe how Forms does configuration.
