MC561700 - Microsoft Teams: App Suggestions by Task in In-Context Stores

Updated June 13,February 16, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Users think about which tasks they need to complete, such as creating a survey, inside Microsoft Teams. Soon, app suggestions will be organized by tasks that the apps support as opposed to conventional categories (productivity, project management). As a result, the new categorization will reduce the amount of time users need to spend learning about these apps – helping them to work more effectively.
