How to Update Entra ID Apps to Run Teams Cmdlets
MC1134747 describes a new permissions requirement for Entra apps that run Teams PowerShell cmdlets. Despite what you might think after reading some of the overhyped and ill-informed online commentary about this topic, this is not a dramatic security change, and it's easy to update apps to meet the new requirement with PowerShell. First, find the apps that use Teams PowerShell (we show two ways), and then assign the two required permissions to the apps. All done with a few lines of Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK code. https://office365itpros.com/2025/09/05/update-apps-teams-powershell/How to List Details of Teams Apps
A question asked about filtering Teams apps based on their blocked status. The Teams admin center doesn’t support this kind of filter and getting details of Teams apps is surprisingly difficult. For instance, you can’t get a list of the 2,500+ apps shown in the Teams admin center. PowerShell cmdlets are available to list Teams apps, but they focus on apps known to a tenant rather than the entire catalog. https://office365itpros.com/2024/08/08/teams-apps-report/
Meeting side panel is empty for third party apps
We have noticed that some users are getting a completely empty meeting side panel when pressing on the icon of third party apps. This occurs whilst in a meeting. This behaviour has been noticed using multiple third party apps that utilise the meeting side panel. It appears that a consistent workaround to fixing the issue is to first click on the 'chat' icon to load the chat in the meeting side panel. After the chat has proprely loaded you can select a third party app instead and it will then load without issue. It appears to happen most commonly when the users are part of a different organisation to the host of the meeting, although it has been noticed by users of the same organisation as the host as well. Has anyone else experienced this or knows what is happening. The workaround is not really an easy one to explain to other people in the call.
Sample Apps not listed in available apps, but are allowed via Teams admin center
Tenant is GCC. The Power Apps sample apps are allowed in the Teams admin center, but are not visible to users in org under app catalog. Also, Teams admin center cannot see these apps listed in the available apps for pinning to sidebar. Sample Apps were available up until just about a week ago. I feel this is a Teams issue and not a Power Apps/Power Platform issue. What could have changed to cause this?
Full Screen not working correctly with Power BI app
I have attempted a few times recently to use full screen to display dashboards created in the Power BI app on the Teams desktop client. Entering full screen mode works perfectly, but once in full screen, there is no option available to leave this mode. Hitting the Esc key will shrink the window to show the Taskbar, but the window will remain borderless and it will be entirely filled by the dashboard. This leaves me unable to leave the Power BI dashboard and go back to view chats, teams, my calendar, etc. The only way I've found to get back to view other areas is to right-click on the teams tab in my Taskbar and click "New Chat," which will take me back to view all of my chats as normal. Other people at my company trying to view the same dashboards are having the same issue. This doesn't feel like something that was intended, but I can't find any information on this issue or how to resolve it anywhere. Am I just missing the button to leave full screen somewhere? If anyone knows of an intended way to change the view back to windowed correctly, it would be greatly appreciated.
