Updated May 7, 2025: We have updated the timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
In the Microsoft 365 admin center, we will soon introduce a new organizational setting called App usage for custom apps to allow enterprise app developers to view and use app analytics for company apps in the Developer Portal for Microsoft Teams. The Developer Portal is a tool for managing apps and agents built for Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft 365 apps. By viewing custom app's usage, enterprise developers can see the number of active users and get other insights. Admins can allow the app usage for your custom apps to be shown in the Developer Portal.
[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide): We began rolling out mid-April 2025 and expect to complete by mid-May 2025 (previously late April).
