I have a query regarding, How to Proactively Install / Push Apps in Teams for Multiple Users ?.
We have added our Bot Application as part of Teams App Catalogue, and I followed below document regarding Manage App Setup Policies in Microsoft Teams to install apps: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/microsoftteams/teams-app-setup-policies?WT.mc_id=TeamsAdminCenterCSH#install-apps
Though above link clearly states that it automatically installs apps for users, but when we follow above link it only adds application as part of Teams App Catalogue. So just wanted to know that does installation here mean, only adding in App List and not installing as such on user machine ?.
The other method we can follow is to create a custom script and use Graph API queries as described in below link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/graph-api/proactive-bots-and-messages/graph-proactive-bots-and-messages#proactive-app-installation-in-teams
So wanted to know as per Microsoft, what is the recommended way of Pushing Bot App to multiple users on MS Teams. Can this be handled with Teams Admin Center ?.
Any help or guidance on the approach to achieve proactive app installation in Teams would be great.
Thanks In Advance!!!..
I tried with Teams Admin Center and tested 2 scenarios:
1.) For User Already Logged In
2.) For New User Logging the First Time
The policies take time to be applied / be effective for users (not immediate). In my testing, I logged in after ~2 hours for New User and waited ~2 days for already logged in User. We have to test the same for your respective environment. Also these are not Standard Timelines, and we have Test in our environment accordingly.
