Designing, Using, and Governing Microsoft Teams Applications, On its own, Microsoft Teams is a great collaboration tool that brings most of Microsoft 365’s services into one place. But it doesn’t have to stop there; Teams can bring line of business, cloud, and productivity apps right into the Teams user interface to streamline work for users. In this session, you’ll learn about the different kinds of Teams applications and what they can do. We’ll discuss 3rd party, open source, custom code, and low-code options and how you can use them to make teams more effective, especially in remote work scenarios. You’ll see bots, tabs, and more ways to interact with users in Teams. And you’ll learn how to control what apps are available to users, and even how to push them out to users so they don’t need to learn how to install anything. Don’t miss this opportunity to take your Microsoft Teams experience to the next level with solutions that are tailored to the needs of your organization!
