Automating the integration of Power Apps inside Teams

When a custom application gets deployed to the Apps section in Microsoft Teams, it becomes available to the whole platform. You can use them in channels, chats, and even as a standalone application inside the Teams interface by pinning them to the main toolbar.

These methods allow you to configure Teams to match your needs. However, you might need to build an application for your entire organization that is quickly available for all users on the main toolbar without asking them to pin it manually.

We can achieve this using the Microsoft Teams admin portal. We will also learn how to automate the deployment of a Team with an app.

Getting ready

To manage the Microsoft Teams admin portal, the user requires the Teams service admin role. An administrator can grant you this role through the Microsoft 365 admin center, https://admin.microsoft.com/, or the Azure portal, https://portal.azure.com/
