Manage your apps in Microsoft Teams

Get a streamlined view of your apps in Teams and take actions to manage them from Manage your apps. You'll find apps you've added, as well as any apps added on your behalf by qualified team members.

Select Apps on the left of Teams.
At the bottom of the Apps sidebar, select Manage your apps.
Select the app you want to manage. You'll see a list showing where that app has been used recently. When you select a location, Teams will take you to that location's Apps tab.

Update an app

Most app updates happen automatically in Teams, but when an app update requires new permissions, you must manually accept the update. Once you do, the update will be applied everywhere you have the right to change things. That might include chats, channels, meetings, or other places.

Update indicators

When an update is available, you'll see an update indicator in the following places:

Next to Manage your apps at the bottom of the Apps sidebar
Next to the Apps tab on the Manage team pane

Accepting updates

On the Apps tab of Manage your apps, you'll see an Update button next to each app you have the necessary permissions to update.

Select Update.
The app details page for that app will open, showing any features new to the update and permissions the app is requesting for the update.
To update the app, select Update now.

Remove an app

When you remove an app in one place, it's only removed from the location you select.
