Allow external users outside of your organization to collaborate with internal users in Teams without changing their user context. Enhance user experience unlike using guest accounts, for example, the members must sign out of Teams and sign in again using a guest account. Teams applications extend the powerful collaboration space. :::image type="content" source="~/assets/images/app-fundamentals/shared-channels-teams.png" alt-text="Diagram that shows Team B from organization A and Team C from organization B collaborating in a shared Channel as Team A." border="true" ::: |

| platform | Bots With Tabs | https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/msteams-docs/commits/main/msteams-platform/resources/bot-v3/bots-with-tabs.md | There are two ways of achieving this scenario: 2. If you wish to only notify the recipient or interested parties involved with the action, your bot can send a personal chat message to the user. You should first check to see if a personal conversation between your bot and the user exists. If not, you can call `CreateConversation` to initiate the personal chat. In both cases, use event notifications wisely and never spam the user with unnecessary updates.++## See also ++* [Add capabilities to Microsoft Teams app](../../toolkit/add-capability.md) |
| platform | Tab Sso Overview | https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/msteams-docs/commits/main/msteams-platform/tabs/how-to/authentication/tab-sso-overview.md | Here's what your app users get with SSO experience: - The access token is pre-fetched by Teams to improve performance and load time of the app in the Teams environment. - The app users don't need to memorize or record several passwords to access and use apps in Teams environment. -> [!NOTE] -> App users can't give permission to some permission scopes, such as `Sites.ReadWrite.All`, which allows the app user to read and write to all SharePoint and OneDrive assets in the tenant. For such scopes, only the tenant administrator can grant consent on an app user's behalf. - Now, let's see what happens at the backend during runtime to achieve SSO experience within Teams. ## SSO in Teams at runtime |
