Microsoft Teams: Geo filtering for Teams apps

Microsoft Teams App Developers will soon be able to target applications to select geographies (countries/regions) via partner center.

Once this change rolls out, Microsoft Teams app users will only be able to see apps that are applicable for their country or region.
