How do I add a Microsoft Planner tab to a group chat in Microsoft Teams?
I can add a Atlassian Trello tab to group chat.
By default
Owners and team members can add tabs to a channel, private chat, and
group chat to help integrate their cloud services. Tabs can be added
to help users easily access and manage the data they need or interact
with the most.
For some reason some of the apps are not appearing in Group chat.
But I have carefully checked the channels and private chat. I can able to add the planner app. For Group chat certainly some updates /settings are missing.
However the solution for your question is. ( Bit of hacky way) But it can work
Create a Group Chat with your team members
Hit the + tab and Select website. Please see screen shot below
Enter your Tab name as "MS Planner" and in the URL https://tasks.office.com/ add the link
Select the checkbox "Post to the chat about this tab" so that your other group chat members know
When you hit save you should be definitely seeing the Planner > Signin and start using it.
Here is the confirmation
Hope it helps.

I have created a PowerApp in Teams and added it into a Teams Channel. I have added some users into my Teams Channel as Owners and some users as Members. I have added a tab at the top of the Teams Channel. When some of the users click on the tab, they able to view the app and when other users click on the tab they will receive a message saying that they need access. Any ideas of what may be causing this?
I am testing a chat bot (built using MS bot framework) in MS teams. The bot is designed for one on one chat but I want to make it available to a group of testers. As such, I've created a team and added the testers as members and the bot as an app. According to the MS documentation my understanding was that if the bot manifest included 'personal' in the scope then any team member should be able to start one on one chat with the bot. However, when searching for the bot in the "to" field of the Chat window some team member can find the bot and others can't. My first thought was that there was delay between when a person was added to the team and when they could access the bot in a one on one chat. But that doesn't seem to be the case. Is there something else I've overlooked that would prevent the bot from showing up for some team members but not others?
#Moe Adding the Bot to a team does not make the bot available to all the members of the team in personal scope. It is still in the teams scope and all the team members will be able to access the bot in the team only. A member of the team should either install the app in personal scope or click on the chat icon by hovering on the bot name in team and click on "Add"
#Gousia-MSFT's answer got me part way to a solution. When hovering over the bot's icon in the Teams chat I didn't get an option to 'add' the bot. However, there was an option to 'chat' with the bot:
. Using the text box or clicking the chat icon starts (or continues) a one on one conversation with the bot.
I have developed a Microsoft Teams app, and I'm using 'deep linking' to create named chats (chats with topic names) with selected users, as per the docs:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/concepts/build-and-test/deep-links#deep-linking-to-a-chat
An example of a 'deep link' to create a chat would be:
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/0/0?users=joe#contoso.com,bob#contoso.com,dave#contoso.com&topicName=Prep%20For%20Meeting%20Tomorrow&message=Hi%20folks%2C%20kicking%20off%20a%20chat%20about%20our%20meeting%20tomorrow
This works fine - and if I save the portion of the link minus the 'message' portion, this again works fine, and links the user to the existing chat:
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/0/0?users=joe#contoso.com,bob#contoso.com,dave#contoso.com&topicName=Prep%20For%20Meeting%20Tomorrow
However, if another user is added to the chat from inside Teams itself, the link above will not link to the existing chat any more, rather create a brand new chat instance with the same topicName and originally specified users.
Is there a way of 'deep linking' to a chat by it's topicName or some kind of ID only? Without having to get clever with the Microsoft Graph API?
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/0/0?Prep%20For%20Meeting%20Tomorrow
just links to the chat 'home screen', where a user can start a new chat through Teams
I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can't achieve this directly. As soon as you add a new person, it's no longer the "same" chat, so to speak (e.g. a chat with "Joe, Bob and Dave" is NOT the same as a chat with "Joe, Bob, Dave and Sue". The two ways I can think of that you can achieve what you're looking for though, are:
create a Meeting with that subject - the "meeting" chat seems to hang around forever, it has a title, and you can modify participants, even after the "meeting" is over.
Alternative to the above, if there's an ongoing initiative, maybe it's just better as an actual Team or Channel anyway...?
I came here looking a solution to this same requirement.. a link that others can click on to dial into a normal MS Teams (multi-person) chat. I want to include this in my meeting invites in the case where I initially created the chat group manually within MS Teams (not originally via meeting invite).
I opened the chat in MS Teams Web (in my browser) to get the unique conversation identifier and then replaced that portion in a sample link that I would typically find in meeting invites. I also removed the context parameter. When I followed the resulting link in my browser it launched my MS Teams desktop application and joined the chat group meeting. An illustrative sample link is below:
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/*19:1235774810bf4d7086ada8e13c7c6c8a#thread.v2/0*
The portion "19:1235774810bf4d7086ada8e13c7c6c8a#thread.v2/0" is what I replaced.
And there is no need for something like "?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22c9b9cb50-3544-4db4-a267-fa84df2f4ceb%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22663db54f-657a-407d-8a0b-45c76d8cdffd%22%7d" at the end either. I'm not sure what will happen if someone uses this link who has not been added to the chat by me though. You'll have to test that if that is a requirement.
Let's say we are creating an adhoc group chat with multiple people in Microsoft Teams.
After the first person is added to the chat Teams loads the chat history. Can I turn this functionality off?
This is because I may be creating the while others are watching and I don't always want them to see the history of my 1-on-1 chat with X.
While creating a Group Chat inside Microsoft Teams, you get following options while adding a new user to that group about the chat history.
Don't include the chat history : New user won't be able to see the previous
chat history.
Include history from the past number of days: It gives the access to new user
to read the chat history for specified number of days.
Include all chat history: New user will be able to see all chat history of that
group since it was created.
I've created a bot (a simple echo bot) and deployed it to Azure. Everything works well now and I can talk to the bot in the desktop Skype client (Windows 10 app).
However, I can't seem to be able to add the bot to an existing group chat. When I click on the add button the list of contacts to add doesn't have my bot in it, which is weird because I've added it to my contacts.

^ According to that post I need to create a "private chat" with my bot and then I'll be able to add it to group chats, but I have no idea how to do that.
I haven't published my bot, but I did enable "Allow adding to a group" in bot settings on https://dev.botframework.com.
Any idea why it's not working?
Private chat is talking directly to your bot. If you have added it to your contacts, it should be easy to open a direct conversation with it by double clicking.
Then you can add people in the conversation using the top right button:
Then you will have your group chat working:
Note for other people asking the same question (but you already mentioned that you did it), don't forget to activate the group conversation for your bot in botframework portal, in Skype channel settings
