The Exchange web client renders in the Teams website tab now \u2013 Chrome and Chromium-based Edge. I use the nightly build of FireFox and it says \u2018Blocked by X-Frame-Options Policy\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t<\/em> a way to get new mail notifications in Teams \u2013 you\u2019ve got to click over to the tab. But it does let you send a quick message without leaving Teams.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a little inconvenient, though, to have to navigate over to the right<\/em> channel to find the website tab. You can also create a custom Teams application to access the Exchange website. That\u2019s a little more complicated, but you basically need a manifest.json with static tabs to the inbox and calendar.<\/p>\n

Install and open \u201cApp Studio\u201d in Teams. Create a new app. Fill in the details — use the generate button to get an app ID. Since you’re not going to publish the app to the Microsoft app store, the info you use isn’t super<\/em> important … the privacy and terms of use, specifically, aren’t something anyone is going to read.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the \u201cCapabilities\u201d section, add a personal tab<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Add a tab for the mailbox:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you wish, add a tab for the calendar \u2013 I prefer the weekly view, but you can replace \u201cweek\u201d with \u201cworkweek\u201d, \u201cday\u201d, or \u201cmonth\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the \u201cTest and Distribute\u201d, click \u201cDownload\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll get a zip file that you can side-load (i.e. it\u2019s not an app published across the company). In \u201cApps\u201d, select \u201cUpload a custom app\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Locate the downloaded ZIP file and open it<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Verify that your app looks right \u2013 the permissions are base permissions for all apps (we didn\u2019t add anything special)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Click \u201cAdd\u201d and you\u2019ll be able to select the new app from the ellipses in Teams.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And you\u2019ll have an app that can access your mailbox<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Or a week view of your calendar<\/p>\n
