App studio for Teams vs Powerapps studio?

I´m deciding to create a app for Teams or for PowerApps.

 

I have one question - can I develop the same things in App studio for Teams as what I can do in PowerApps? (canvas app).

 

Or is App studio for Teams more limited in some way when it comes to what functionality that can be developed?

 

Thanks!

  • Let me try for the last time to explain it ;-):
    (1) Teams Apps Studio: It's not for building Apps, but for creating the packages to deploy Apps in Teams.
    (2) Power Apps Studio in Teams: It's for building Power Apps in the scope of Teams, i.e, Microsoft Dataverse for Teams. A Power App create in Power Apps Studio in Teams cannot be used outside of Teams.
    (3) "Global" Power Apps Studio: It's for building Power Apps that can be used standalone through the browser, that can be deployed to Teams as a Personal App or that can be embedded in Teams through a Power Apps Tab or in a SharePoint Site through the Power Apps Tab

  • Usually you package the app depending what type it is via app studio. This can be a power apps app for example!

      Thanks for quick reply. My question is weather if I can build the same things in boths studios?
      • No, you cannot build the same thing in both studios. The differences are quite clear:
        1) Teams App Studio is just to create the package for your native Apps.
        2) Power Apps Studio is just to create Power Apps in Microsoft Dataverse for Teams
