M365 Changelog: Teams Admin Center – Simplified App Pre-Install Experience (Preview)

MC495888 – Microsoft is excited to announce a new experience to improve the app pre-install experience in Teams Admin Center.

When this will happen:

Microsoft will be rolling out in mid-January 2023 and expect rollout to be complete by late January 2023.

How this will affect your organization:

For the public preview release, you will receive the feature if:

• Your tenant settings allow end users access to most Teams add-in apps.
• Your tenant settings do not contain custom setup policies.

Pre-installed apps can make your users more productive in their daily work. With this new feature, you can now install useful apps for all your end users through a few simple clicks.

For Admins:

• Pre-install an app from the banner
• Pre-install an app from the app details page
• Manage a pre-installed app
