Originally posted by Microsoft Sep 26, 2022 Uncategorized 0 Comments

For Teams administrators, Microsoft product team is working on an updated version of Teams app usage report which has many enhancements (mentioned in detail below). This report will be available to our public\GCC cloud customers in late September and will eventually be made available to GCCH and DoD cloud customers.

The new app usage report brings in new enhancements like support for usage of line of business (LoB) apps, Tenant level install trend, enhanced quality of metrics reported, tenant wide usage of Microsoft, 3P and LoB apps etc. These enhancements will help the admin measure the usage of Teams app across their organization. As a result of which, the existing Teams app usage report available in Teams admin center will be retired by early October.

When this will happen:

For Public/Worldwide and GCC cloud customers, this new app usage report will begin rolling out around late September in both Microsoft 365 admin center as well as Teams admin center. 

For GCCH and DoD cloud customers, the existing Teams app usage report in Teams admin center will stop working and eventually be removed in Mid-October. An updated version of the Teams app usage report will be made available to these customers in the next few months. 

How this will affect your organization:

Public/GCC cloud customers will start seeing an updated version of the app usage report for their organization. The new app usage report brings in new enhancements like support for usage of line of business (LoB) apps, Tenant level install trend, enhanced quality of metrics reported, tenant wide usage of Microsoft, 3P and LoB apps etc. These enhancements will help the admin measure the usage of Teams app across their organization.
