Deploy Microsoft Teams app to the cloud using Microsoft Visual Studio Code

Microsoft Teams Toolkit helps to deploy or upload the front-end and back-end code in your app to your provisioned cloud resources in Azure.

You can deploy to the following types of cloud resources:

  • Azure App Services
  • Azure Functions
  • Azure Storage (as static website)
  • SharePoint

Note

Before you deploy app code to Azure cloud, you need to successfully complete the provisioning of cloud resources.

Deploy Teams apps using Teams Toolkit

The Get started guide helps to deploy using Teams Toolkit. You can use the following to deploy your Teams app:

Sign in to your Azure account

Use this account to access the Microsoft Azure portal and to provision new cloud resources to support your app. Before deploying your app to Azure App Service, Azure Functions, or Azure Storage, you must sign in to your Azure account.

  1. Open Visual Studio Code.

  2. Open the project folder in which you created app.

  3. Select the Teams Toolkit icon in the sidebar.

  4. Select Sign in to Azure.

    Tip

    If you have the Azure Account extension installed and are using the same account, you can skip this step. Use the same account as you're using in other extensions.

    Your default web browser opens to let you sign in to the account.

  5. Sign in to your Azure account using your credentials.

  6. Close the browser when prompted and return to Visual Studio Code.

The ACCOUNTS section of the sidebar shows the two accounts separately. It also lists the number of usable Azure subscriptions available to you. Ensure you have at least one usable Azure subscription available. If not, sign out and use a different account.

Now you're ready to deploy your app to Azure!

Congratulations, you've created a Teams app! Now let's go ahead and learn how to deploy one of the apps to Azure using the Teams Toolkit.

Deploy to Azure

  1. Select Deploy from the LIFECYCLE section in the left pane.

  4. Select the Teams Toolkit icon in the sidebar.

Customize deploy lifecycle in Teams

To customize the deployment process, you can edit the deploy sections in 'teamsapp.yml'.
