MS Teams - Publish an app to external organisations app catalog for approval

Question

Hi all,

Scenario
At the moment I'm investigating the possibilities of publishing our app. Our app is focused on education, and we would like to add our app to the organizations catalog of our clients (schools). On a high level, this is the ideal process:

1. We publish our app to the organizations catalog by using the app submission API.
2. The IT admin of the organization sees our app on the Manage Apps page and approves our app for the organization.
3. The app is available for all teachers and students of the organization.

Main question
How can I, as an external developer, publish apps to specific organizations?

Answer 1

Hi @Alvin ,

Based on my knowledge, there are several options for distributing once you’ve created your app.

If you are the team owner and uploading custom apps in enabled, you can directly upload the app and start using it right away. You can also publish the app to your organization‘s app catalog or AppSource. For more details, you can learn it from:
