In a push to get more app developers building for Teams, Microsoft is opening up its APIs, Teams Store and tools to what it calls collaborative apps. Last year, Microsoft first let developers build third-party apps into Teams, but the company went a step further with its latest announcement at Build 2021. Moving forward, developers will be able to:
Build apps that plug into the Teams meeting canvas.
Build apps that use in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Develop external apps that get access to Teamsâ real-time video and audio streams.
âIf you can build web apps, you can build extensions into Teams chats, channels, and meetings,â said Jeff Teper, head of Microsoft 365 collaboration, in an interview with The Verge. âYou can build once, run, deploy anywhere.â
