Microsoft Teams Power Platform allows everyone, no matter theirs skillset, to add business value by quickly and securely developing innovative apps to reduce inefficiencies and solve business challenges.
Customize Teams with pre-built templates and drag-and-drop simplicity that extend app capabilities without limits with flexible components when you need them.
