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/Microsoft Partners with Salesforce to Deliver Microsoft Teams Integration for Sales and Service

Taking Class Attendance on Teams for Education
The Attendance app on Teams for Education allows teachers to take student attendance and generate simple attendance reports to answer frequent class attendance related questions. This app resides within the Teams environment, allowing teachers to manage attendance without needing to move to another tool.
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.
