I've seen some screenshots suggesting that it is possible to accept / hold / reject / hangup a call from within a tab in the Teams client. However, i cannot find any reference about such capabilities. I thought of deeplinks or the javascript client SDK, but either I am not looking good enough, or it just isn't there.
Does anyone know if and if so, how this is possible?
This item remains on the backlog in Teams UserVoice,
Microsoft will always focus on customer’s feedback and experience, some new features would be added to the services based on customers' feedback in the future, we also recommend you give your new idea in Teams UserVoice

Dear developers of Microsoft Teams,
Today when joining a Teams meeting I noticed that I got a pop-up window for the meeting I was about to join. I immediately thought this was pretty weird, as I disabled the setting regarding that functionality.
This specific setting gave the user the option to have meetings be created in a seperate pop-up window, or to keep it in the same original application window.
For me this worked perfectly, als I much preferred to keep everything in one place. However, when searching for this setting in the settings tab, I noticed that the setting is now gone, thus forcing users to work with a pop-up window.
I have no idea why this setting was removed, but I would really love to get it back ASAP. I personally believe it's better to let the users themselves decide how they prefer to use Teams.
As this isn't a new feature that's being requested, but rather asking for a feature to come back from a previous version, I hope that it can be implemented back into Teams soon!
I hope to hear from the team about why the decision to remove the option was made, and if the setting can be brought back!
Kind regards,
Joshua
Could you please rise UserVoice for this.
I have previously been asking about add-in in this section of Outlook, but I have a new requirement now that I can't seem to figure out how to address.
I have a button that appears on appointments for both Organizer and Attendee. The button works as intended for both parties.
However, we have now been made aware that there are several users who are working with shared calendars, in which they are not Organizer nor Attendee.
For these users the button is visible but it is in a "disabled" state and can not be clicked.
So my question is: How do I configure the button (I expect it can be done in the manifest somehow) so that it is also available for people looking at shared calendars (aka not as organizer nor as attendee).
Any help is appreciated, thanks ;)
This is not possible today.
However, we track Outlook add-in feature requests on our user-voice page.
It looks like the feature you want has been requested by others already. Please upvote the existing request.
Feature requests on user-voice are considered when we go through our planning process.

I'm using the primary theme colours from Office UI Fabric Core, but no matter which theme I change to in Outlook Web Access my add-in colors don't change. It's constantly using the default blue.
I've tried clear browser history/cache, different users, different browsers, different machines.
When displaying an Outlook Add-in in OWA the add-in is displayed in its own sandboxed iframe (if this helps someone who knows how the dynamic theme mechanism is suppose to work).
Office UI Fabric team member here. Sorry for the incredibly long delay, I'm just now seeing questions about Fabric on SO.
This question has come up a number of other times and is a scenario we hope to address soon. I don't have a great answer for when we can enable picking up & applying specific Office client themes, but know that this is important for us to support in our own product scenarios, so I'd expect to see developments here soon. We'll be working with specific product teams to figure out the best way to handle this from a technical perspective.
That said, in the meantime, it is actually possible to load themed styles in Fabric-React today that should give you an indicator of what the solution might look like: try changing a theme color like themePrimary on this page, then view a component like Button to see that change reflected there. I imagine the solution we end up with will look similar to this.
I have a task pane add-in for PowerPoint in mind that can help users with tasks on the active presentation. With Microsoft Office becoming more and more popular on platforms besides Windows using the JavaScript API would make a great portable implementation. There are a number of COM add-ins doing things like these via the PowerPoint object model:
Get the color of a selected shape and apply to another
Change position of shapes to align
them
Copy one or more shapes from a slide in a presentation to
another
Upload a selected image to a web service
Insert a slide
downloaded from a web service
After going through the JavaScript API documentation it seems like these things are impossible at the moment. getFileAsync sounds remotely promising but does not help in the end. getSelectedDataAsync only returns text or titles and IDs for slides. So this isn't a solution either.
Is it correct that for the tasks above I am currently out of luck with the available JavaScript API for PowerPoint? I.e. I will need to wait for a more comprehensive API to become available (like the APIs for Word and Excel)? Anyone knows if Microsoft has something in the works here?
Right now the Office extensibility team has been investing heavily in Excel and Word JavaScript APIs, the PPT API will also be available in the near future, but I cannot disclose any specific date. Stay tuned!!!
A client is reporting a problem using our Web-Based application. It seems that their users are opening Multiple tabs while using the site. It leads to a problem where they lose track of what tab they are on and sometimes enter invalid data or view data in the wrong context believing that they are on a different tab.
Though I have proposed different solutions for them they only want to consider one solution: disabling tabbed browsing when their users are on our site, and enabling it again when they are not.
Is such a thing possible? All the users are using Windows (XP, I believe, although possibly W7) and Internet Explorer 7+.
I wasn't sure if there is a Windows Scripting solution that can accomplish this, or maybe an ActiveX control that has this capability.
EDIT: 2012/08/13 One feature I am now considering is a custom Internet Explorer application. Something similar to what the poster is talking about here:
http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/ie8-virtual-layer-custom-ie-settings
and here
http://www.vandyke.com/support/tips/ieobject.html
This is new ground to me so if someone with experience here has any ideas I would love to hear it.
No, you cannot do this. IE will only allow the user to make choices around how tabs work, not the website. It does not have a feature for controlling this on a per-site basis.
If modifying the application to behave differently when it detects this happening is off the table, your client (the people) can just disable tabbed browsing completely using administrative tools.
