Curious about the apps that can help you do more in Teams? In the desktop or web version of Teams, go to Apps on the left side of Teams and have a look around. If you've already added an app, you can find it by selecting View more apps on the left side of Teams. Some apps require you to sign in with account credentials.

Keep in mind that every organization can customize their Teams experience. Therefore, the apps shown might vary between companies, teams, and individuals.
