Microsoft Teams Opens Its Doors To Third-Party Apps During Meetings

Microsoft is allowing third-party app developers to integrate into the Microsoft Teams meeting experience for the first time. The Verge reports: The new developer-focused features will let apps integrate into Teams meetings during video calls, and even before and after meetings. Third-party apps will be able to display content during Microsoft Teams calls, and even display notifications during calls. It's a big expansion of what third-party apps are able to do in Microsoft Teams right now. Applications will be able to add a tab to meeting invites where Teams users can interact with the app before a meeting begins. Once a meeting begins, Teams participants will be able to pull apps into the live call. This could include bots that trigger live notifications about events while a Teams meeting is taking place or an app that shows information to participants in the sidebar. The integration also includes the ability for apps to appear as a button in the meeting controls bar.

Sounds useful.

the poo

[awwshit]

Its really just that MS software has the poo on it. Those things you don't like are part of the poo. Some just glove up and dive in while others don't like the smell at all.

Wonder how long before

And what? Before you say extinguish please identify what it is they are extinguishing, how this will lead to extinguishing, and how this is different from the functionality already offered by Google Hangouts.

Common, show us all you're insightful and not just some parrot who once heard a catchphrase and doesn't know how it works or what it means.

How about a working Linux client first?

Teams is a giant pile of garbage, it's so unstable that there's a 50% chance of it being able to sign-in, and a 10% chance of being able to take a call, receive a message or stay running in the background. Microsoft knows of these critical issues but they don't care and won't do anything to improve the Linux situation and experience. Instead of focusing on third party app integration, they should focus on getting the software stable, because it's really a pathetic offering.
