Teams tab with microsoft graph toolkit
Tabs are Teams-aware webpages embedded in Microsoft Teams. A channel/group tab delivers content to channels and group chats, and are a great way to create collaborative spaces around dedicated web-based content.
Included Features
- Tabs
- Graph Toolkit
Interaction with app
Prerequisites
- Microsoft Teams is installed and you have an account (not a guest account)
- To test locally, NodeJS must be installed on your development machine (version 16.14.2 or higher)
- dev tunnel or ngrok latest version or equivalent tunneling solution
- M365 developer account or access to a Teams account with the
- Teams Toolkit for VS Code or TeamsFx CLI
Run the app (Using Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio Code)
The simplest way to run this sample in Teams is to use Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio Code.
- Ensure you have downloaded and installed Visual Studio Code
- Install the Teams Toolkit extension
- Select File > Open Folder in VS Code and choose this samples directory from the repo
- Using the extension, sign in with your Microsoft 365 account where you have permissions to upload custom apps
- Select Debug > Start Debugging or F5 to run the app in a Teams web client.
- In the browser that launches, select the Add button to install the app to Teams.
If you do not have permission to upload custom apps (sideloading), Teams Toolkit will recommend creating and using a Microsoft 365 Developer Program account - a free program to get your own dev environment sandbox that includes Teams.
Setup
Register you app with Azure AD.
- Register a new application in the Microsoft Entra ID – App Registrations portal.
- Select New Registration and on the register an application page, set following values:
- Set name to your app name.
- Choose the supported account types (any account type will work)
- Leave Redirect URI empty.

- On the overview page, copy and save the Application (client) ID, Directory (tenant) ID. You’ll need those later when updating your Teams application manifest and in the .localConfigs.
- Under Manage, select Expose an API.
- Select the Set link to generate the Application ID URI in the form of
api://{base-url}/{AppID}
. Insert your fully qualified domain name (with a forward slash "/" appended to the end) between the double forward slashes and the GUID. The entire ID should have the form of:api://fully-qualified-domain-name/{AppID}
- ex:
api://%ngrokDomain%.ngrok-free.app/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
.
- ex:
- Select the Add a scope button. In the panel that opens, enter

- User consent description: Enable Teams to call this app’s APIs with the same rights as the user.
- Ensure that State is set to Enabled
- Select Add scope
- The domain part of the Scope name displayed just below the text field should automatically match the Application ID URI set in the previous step, with
/access_as_user
appended to the end:- `api://[ngrokDomain].ngrok-free.app/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/access_as_user.
- The domain part of the Scope name displayed just below the text field should automatically match the Application ID URI set in the previous step, with
- In the Authorized client applications section, identify the applications that you want to authorize for your app’s web application. Each of the following IDs needs to be entered:
1fec8e78-bce4-4aaf-ab1b-5451cc387264
(Teams mobile/desktop application)5e3ce6c0-2b1f-4285-8d4b-75ee78787346
(Teams web application)
- Navigate to API Permissions, and make sure to add the follow permissions:
- Select Add a permission
- Select Microsoft Graph -> Delegated permissions.
User.Read
(enabled by default)
- Click on Add permissions. Please make sure to grant the admin consent for the required permissions.
- Navigate to Authentication If an app hasn't been granted IT admin consent, users will have to provide consent the first time they use an app.
- Set a redirect URI:
- Select Add a platform.
- Select Web.
- Enter the redirect URI for the app in the following format:
https://{Base_Url}/auth-end.html
.
- Set a redirect URI:

andhttps://{Base_Url}/auth-end.html?clientId={AppID}
.
Navigate to the Certificates & secrets. In the Client secrets section, click on "+ New client secret". Add a description(Name of the secret) for the secret and select “Never” for Expires. Click "Add". Once the client secret is created, copy its value, it need to be placed in the .localConfigs.
Setup NGROK
Run ngrok - point to port 3978
ngrok http 3978 --host-header="localhost:3978"
Alternatively, you can also use the
dev tunnels
. Please follow Create and host a dev tunnel and host the tunnel with anonymous user access command as shown below:devtunnel host -p 3978 --allow-anonymous
- Setup for code
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples.git
Build and Run
In the project directory, execute:
``` bash
npm install
```
``` bash
npm start
```
- Setup Manifest for Teams
This step is specific to Teams.
- Edit the
manifest.json
contained in the ./AppPackage folder to replace your Microsoft App Id (that was created when you registered your app registration earlier) everywhere you see the place holder string{{Microsoft-App-Id}}
(depending on the scenario the Microsoft App Id may occur multiple times in themanifest.json
) - Edit the
manifest.json
forvalidDomains
and replace{{domain-name}}
with base Url of your domain. E.g. if you are using ngrok it would behttps://1234.ngrok-free.app
then your domain-name will be1234.ngrok-free.app
and if you are using dev tunnels then your domain will be like:12345.devtunnels.ms
. - Zip up the contents of the
AppPackage
folder to create amanifest.zip
(Make sure that zip file does not contains any subfolder otherwise you will get error while uploading your .zip package)
- Edit the
Upload the manifest.zip to Teams (in the Apps view click "Upload a custom app")
- Go to Microsoft Teams. From the lower left corner, select Apps
- From the lower left corner, choose Upload a custom App
- Go to your project directory, the ./AppPackage folder, select the zip folder, and choose Open.
- Select Add in the pop-up dialog box. Your app is uploaded to Teams.
User Interaction
- Once you access the Tab within your app you will be able to see following microsoft-graph-toolkit component. -, , , ,
Deploy to Teams
Start debugging the project by hitting the F5
key or click the debug icon in Visual Studio Code and click the Start Debugging
green arrow button.
Running the sample.
NOTE: Debugging
Ensure you have the Debugger for Chrome/Edge extension installed for Visual Studio Code from the marketplace.
Build for production
npm run build
Builds the app for production to the build
folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!
See the section about deployment for more information.
