Microsoft Teams app customisation settings

Short name and full name

The app name is defined in the short and/or full name fields. Note that the app full name is optional, but it may be suitable if your organisation name is longer than 30 characters. For example, you could use the short name field if your organisation has a longer name but is commonly known by an acronym.

Short description

This field should be used for a short summary of the app. This description will be displayed in the app catalogue and will help users to identify your app.

Full description

The full description is intended for a more in-depth overview of the app and its capabilities. This will be displayed beneath the short description in the app catalogue.

Full colour icon

This is the icon that will appear in the catalogue or any other modal. The standard format is PNG.

Outline icon

The outline icon will appear in the side panel where the app will be pinned. The standard format is PNG.

Accent colour

The accent colour is the background colour that will be displayed behind the icon image. This will only be visible for icon PNG images that have a transparent background. This colour is also used on the sign-in card.
