What are collaborative apps?
Collaborative apps bring teams together, enabling seamless communication and collaboration. With Teams, you can build collaborative apps that are:
Borderless

Connected
Bring business workflows, contextualized data, and actionable insights into every interaction – in real-time and over time.
Intelligent
Unlock business insights and open new frontiers of operational intelligence.
Transform your ideas into collaborative experiences
Bring your app into Teams
Create applications that meet users in their flow of work. Bring business processes, contextualized data, and actionable insights together to create collaborative experiences your customers will love.
Bring Teams into your app
Extend what your app can do with Teams functionality such as video calling, telephony, or chat, using the building blocks in Azure Communication Services. Plus, bring data and insights from Microsoft 365 to your app with Microsoft Graph.
