MSTeams: Apps on Microsoft 365 (Office) for Android Mobile – RTM / GA

” Microsoft 365 is the ultimate everyday productivity app that helps you create, edit, and share on the go. With Word, Excel, and PowerPoint all in one app, Microsoft 365 is the destination for creating and editing documents on the fly when you need them most. “

You can now run MS Teams “personal tab apps” right in the Microsoft 365 (Office) APP for Android Mobile[1]. An organisation can dictate access through a combination of app configuration policy (MS InTunes) and custom permission policies[2] over at the MS Teams Admin Centre.
