Bring the apps your team relies on—tabs, bots, and message extensions—directly into Private Channels in Microsoft Teams. This update lets channel owners add apps to a specific private channel, so everyone collaborating there (including invited collaborators from other teams or organizations, subject to admin policy) can work in one place without switching contexts.
