Does MS Teams have a url to install an application in Teams similar to what Slack has?

Question

While developing apps for Slack, we can distribute the app to other organizations using a url - https://slack.com/oauth/v2/authorize with appropriate scopes needed. We are able to add this url reference to a button and let users install the app by logging in to Slack.

Is there a similar url for MS Teams that can be used to install / distribute the application?

Answer 1

You can use a deep link for that:

Deep linking to an app

Create a deep link for the app after the app is listed in the Teams store. To create a link to launch Teams, append the app ID to the following URL: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/app/<your-app-id> . A dialog box appears to install the app.

source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/concepts/build-and-test/deep-links?tabs=teamsjs-v1#deep-linking-to-an-app

When user clicks on it, they will go to Teams and an app installation dialog will be shown for them to decide if they want to install the app.
