How to set a welcome tab and a schedule tab in Microsoft Teams

As part of a project to create a paid online conference in Microsoft 365 by leveraging Microsoft Teams, I needed to add a welcome tab and a schedule tab for the users that registered.

This article gives you a step-by-step on how to set up these tabs.

In the Teams Developer Portal, create a Welcome Tab and a Schedule Tab.
These two tabs are simply showing content of SharePoint Pages.

Create an app and give it a name.

You must provide:

• Developer information
• App URLs
• App ID

Don’t forget to save!

Upload images to display in the app an on the Teams left bar (Outline icon).

Use the right image size.

• Give a name.
• Copy/paste the URL of the Schedule page that you created on the SharePoint Site.
• Keep all other default settings.
• Confirm and Save.

The Teams Administrator needs to approve by going to the Teams admin center:

• Click on Teams app.
• Click on the App that was submitted and publish the app.

The App must be approved by your Org Administrator.

To approve the administrator needs to select the blocked app and click on Allow.

Create a Team App Setup Policy to pin the Welcome App and the Schedule App to the top of the left bar.
Configure a group assignment policy to automatically apply the policy to all the members of the Team.

Not that you will need to use PowerShell for this type of policy:​
