We're currently looking at having an organisational chart for our company, which display the structure of teams etc. and individual staff info.
Ideally we want this to be accessible via our SharePoint intranet, either as a link or embedded frame.
Does anyone know of an 'out of the box' solution for this? I know there is the O365 People app, which is basically pulling from AD/ the address book, however it doesn't show a chart when you click on an individual.
So if there is an O365 solution that would be good, or if anyone knows a 3rd party software that does the job that would also be good to know.
Any help would be much appreciated!

We are also looking for the same thing. The rich people cards integrated throughout O365 is fantastic to be sure, but new people in the business are also interested in simply browsing an entire chart from the top-down before needing to search for a particular individual. Effectively what we'd love to see is a web part or section in Sharepoint, or even an O365 app, which lands the user in an engaging, clickable, searchable org chart. Currently we need to link off to an ageing 3rd party application to satisfy this need. The bones are there, we just want to be able to link someone to it!

Not fully deployed as yet unfortunately, and likely a long road ahead before we will see our people using the application since we've only recently deployed Skype for Business. Something similar available within Sharepoint (or a web view we could link to) would be a very welcome feature for our workforce who go to the intranet every day and expect tools like this to be available there.

Most of the apps on the SharePoint store aren't supported anymore - certainly not by SharePoint Online!

Verify that you "Allow external apps in Microsoft Teams" checked under your O365 Tenant Admin Portal. If that is not enabled, you will not be able to find 3rd party apps.

If your apps are on, I'm wondering if this setting makes the who bot available or not as well since it's related to org chart.

It is published by Microsoft, yes. and from a security and privacy concern, I would have to agree with you Forest. I think Microsoft should add another option to allow Microsoft Apps or they should at least be available without the external apps turned on. That of course would be a uservoice request (typical MS response these days). I think they should have it where we as admins can select apps that we approve. I don't want to blinding enable an option that users can turn on any 3rd party application. Handle this like say the Corporate Microsoft App Store. Admins should be able to enabled apps we approve for users, that they can turn on if desired.

Hmm... I can see some issues here for sure, especially with Bots. Malware for example, I am curious if MS is activity checking this stuff through the typical O365 ATP solutions.
I also noticed in a different article (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/admin-settings) that admins can manually control the apps … (If you want to control which apps are available, turn this switch off. ) How and where is these settings, I wonder?

Are you able to search for the app through the web interface? Any difference results? Can you search for other applications; say JIRA Cloud?
