Microsoft Teams will now allow users to integrate third-party apps during video calls

Firstpost  

With this integration in place, users will get event notification while conducting a meeting, and be able to pull apps into an ongoing call. Bringing greater flexibility to how Microsoft Teams works, users will now be able to integrate third-party apps into Teams meetings — before, during and even after a meeting. In a company blog written by Jared Spataro, the Corporate Vice President for Microsoft 365, the firm said that now “developers and independent software vendors” will be able to add a tab in the “pre-meeting window” or insert a button to open on the meeting control bar. “Applications can span across chat and collaboration and easily have a workflow that expands into meetings now,” said Michal Lesiczka, a group product manager of Microsoft Teams, to The Verge. “One of the key pieces of feedback is, ‘Okay, we can integrate and enable scenarios in these other areas, but in meetings, we want to be playing there as well.” New Software Development Kit and Application Programming Interface capabilities are being added to Teams to bring external content to live meetings.
