starting to use Microsoft Teams a lot now but I'd like to be able to use an ad blocker in a webpage tab when I add it to a Teams channel.
Is that possible?
thanks

To share Content with MS Teams users we can use this "deep link for chat" from the MS Teams documentation:
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/0/0?users=joe#contoso.com,bob#contoso.com&topicName=Prep%20For%20Meeting%20Tomorrow&message=Hi%20folks%2C%20kicking%20off%20a%20chat%20about%20our%20meeting%20tomorrow
But if we need to open a MS Teams Chat without users, it is only working on Android and iOS. For example this link:
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/0/0?topicName=Prep%20For%20Meeting%20Tomorrow&message=Hi%20folks%2C%20kicking%20off%20a%20chat%20about%20our%20meeting%20tomorrow
is not working on Microsoft Windows. MS Teams open, but nothing happens.
The same link works fine on an android phone with MS Teams installed. The App starts, and the message shows at the bottom and on the top users can be selected.
I played around with the link and added some random characters for the parameter "users" -> MS Teams starts, but the message from the parameter "message" is not showing up in the text input field.
We need to open MS Teams without users, because we don't know which users from MS-Teams the user from our system want to select.
So is it possible to open MS Teams "deep link for chat" without users?
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.
I am trying to create a deeplink to a tab for my MS teams app, the deeplink works like https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/<APP_ID>/<TAB_ENTITY_ID>. I am using this link for generating the deeplink.
I am opening the deeplink through an adaptive card button from the bot conversation. The deeplink redirects me to the tab successfully but it removes the chat option. But, on refreshing the same link, the chat tab reappears.
#Pallavi, This is known issue and getting fixed. Soon fix will be available in GA.
I want to test the Calling API of Teams, when enabling Calling Bot function in App Studio, there is a hint as below:
Calling endpoint
Manage the calling endpoint for your bot here.
(This feature is in beta and only available for users using the Developer Preview version of Teams.)
So I got below link to help enable Developer Preview version of Teams, but there is no the About → Developer preview menu.
//https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/resources/dev-preview/developer-preview-intro
Enabling uploading of apps in the admin console of your tenant as described here.
Click on your profile (either in the upper right or lower left of the Teams interface) to display the Teams menu.
Select About → Developer preview.
Select Switch to Developer preview.
Has the method been changed, or I haven't the right way?
You can enable it by clicking your profile, like below.
the teams version I am using is "1.2.00.24753", Please ensure that you are using the relevant version of Teams client, and if some setting was changed in Admin Console, you can log-in again to make it work.
You can enable Developer Preview in Teams via changing the Teams policies from Admin Center.
You need to open Update policies settings and set the policy you want to use to "Enabled" (the default is "Follow Office Preview").

Why let channels have all the fun? Now your private group chats can
add dozens of apps as tabs to make working together even more
seamless. Manage project deadlines with Trello, readily access notes
with OneNote, track business analytics with PowerBI, and so much more.
Check out all the apps available by selecting the + at the top of any
group chat.
However, the + button does not exist in the group chat screen in the desktop application (1.2.00.17057) or the Office365 web interface.
How do I do this?
I have explored further and found that this may be affecting on your case.
Assuming if you have admin access
Go to https://portal.office.com/adminportal/home#/Settings/ServicesAndAddIns
Click on Teams. Under the Apps. Make sure you have enabled the following settings to see the + icon
The checkbox "Allow External Apps" let you When this setting is turned on, users can add external apps that are available to your organization.
Here is the official link.

Hope it helps
Tick the checkbox Allow external apps or sideloading of apps in Teams settings. You can go through the documentation.

I've used app studio from MS Teams to creat a manifest for a Bot App. I've uploaded the full color picture as well as trasparent outlone. However the icon is not displaying at the chat window. Only the default icon is visivle.
Any ideas, how can I solve the issue? Thanks a lot!
Is your bot sideloaded or uploaded to your organization's private app store? In those cases, the image used for the bot in the chat window is taken from the bot registration in Bot Framework. (This is a known issue that we're tracking.)
To change your bot's icon:
If you registered your bot using App Studio:
Go to https://dev.botframework.com/bots and sign in with the same account you use in Teams
Select your bot, then go to Settings
Click on "Upload custom icon"
If you registered your app using the Azure portal:
Go to the Bot Service or Bot Channels Registration resource in Azure
Go to Settings
Upload a custom icon
As #Adrian Solis answer is indeed correct, I just wanted to add that it can also be related to caching issues. If you are changing icons and want to check if everything is working as expected, you can delete your browsers cache or the cache of the Microsoft Teams Windows App.
The Microsoft Teams Windows App has the following cache folders. Just stop the app, delete everything in this folders and start it again.
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\application cache\cache\
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\blob_storage\
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\Cache\
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\databases\
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\GPUcache\
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\IndexedDB\
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\Local Storage\
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\tmp\
