Microsoft Teams. Pinning apps and applying policies
In Microsoft Teams, users’ apps are pinned to the app bar. The app bar is shown down the left-hand side of the Teams desktop and web clients, and across the bottom in the Teams mobile client. The app bar is where users select apps such as Chat, Teams, Meetings and Calls.
Manually adding and pinning apps
The recent release of the new Yammer ‘Communities’ app for Teams serves to illustrate an excellent use-case for installing and pinning apps other than those you get by default with Teams.
The availability of apps to users depends on the policies configured by the administrators in the Teams admin centre. We will look at those policies later; for now, assume that the Communities app is available to users to install and pin.
To install and pin the Communities apps to the sidebar, a user can first select Apps from the sidebar and then search for the Communities app.
