summary for non-techies**

Microsoft Teams will receive an update in November 2024 that makes it easier for users to find and use previously used apps in group chats, channels, and meetings by automatically listing these apps at the top of the app list in Teams menus. Users will see a consent screen when accessing an app they haven't installed themselves, and admins should ensure app permission policies are set appropriately, though no additional configuration is required.

Direct effects for Operations**

User Experience Disruption
Users may experience confusion or frustration if they are not informed about the new app discovery feature, leading to potential misuse or overuse of apps without understanding their functionalities.
