Getting started with free Frameable apps

Setting up for installation success

Microsoft Teams is a virtual workspace software that is set up and managed by an organization’s appointed ‘Teams administrator.’ It is not uncommon for these administrators to set up their virtual workspaces, or ‘tenants,’ with restrictions in place to stop employees from installing new apps without approval. We call these locked tenants.

If you belong to an organization that has a locked tenant, you will need your Teams administrator’s assistance to install your Frameable app.

How to tell if you're in a locked tenant

There is a simple test to see if your tenant is locked. Start by visiting the Teams office store by clicking the apps icon in the left side bar of your Teams instance.

Type in the name of your chosen Frameable app in the search bar in the upper left corner of the office store.

When you see your Frameable app appear in the search results, a locked tenant will display a lock icon over the app's logo image in the upper left corner of the listing. You will also see a the button on the upper right corner of the listing says 'Request.'

If your app listings look like this, you are in a locked tenant and will need to talk with your Teams administrator before trying to install. Click here if you are in a locked tenant.

If your tenant is not locked, you can continue on to installation.
