Deploying a Power App
Recently, Microsoft debuted a new version of the Power Apps mobile application, capable of bringing model-driven and Canvas Power Apps into one central location.
For this article, we’re going to focus on Canvas apps. Canvas apps are business applications available to those inside your organization who have the application shared with them. With this sharing structure, different lines of businesses and departments in your organization can have applications tailored to their specific needs.
There are a few different ways of deploying a Canvas application. These include:
- Via a web browser (Edge, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, and Firefox are supported) on a desktop device
- Via the Microsoft Power Apps application, available on the Apple App Store (iOS devices) and the Google Play Store (Android Devices)
- Via embedding the Power App in a model-driven app (like our Innovation Lab 360 Customer View)
There is one other, lesser-known way of deploying a Power App – and that is through Microsoft Teams. With millions of people now working from home, Teams has become the go-to collaboration tool for telecommuting. Video-teleconferencing (VTC) applications have entered the mainstream, and most experts believe they are here to stay. With so many people using Teams, why not surface a Power App inside one (or more) of your channels? An embedded Power App will increase the efficiency of your workforce, giving you and your team the tools you need to succeed.
