Microsoft Teams

Updated July 8, 2026: We have updated the timeline and added documentation. This feature is now available. Thank you for your patience. IntroductionWe’re excited to announce that Microsoft Teams now supports apps in Private channels. This update enables richer collaboration scenarios across teams and organizations by allowing users to add and use apps—including bots, tabs, and message extensions—directly within Private channels. This change aligns with customer feedback requesting more consistent and flexible app experiences across collaboration spaces. Support for apps in Private Channels follows the same model as that for shared channels, ensuring a unified experience for users and developers.For organizations using custom line-of-business (LOB) apps, developer updates are required to ensure private and shared channel compatibility.
