Open Another App From First App in the Same Window in Microsoft Teams

Posted on by 6,488
Hello Everyone,
 
I have an application that is deployed on client end on their teams app.
 
Now the app has got really heavy and takes a lot of time to load, submit data and to view in a gallery. This is because the app has more than 60 connections and more than 3000 controls. Also the data size is also huge in certain lists with over 75k items.
 
We raised a ticket with Microsoft regarding this and they said to divide the application into three different applications.
 
So, the plan is to keep certain screens in 1 application and to keep other screens in two different applications.
 
Now, for this I did a POC where I created two applications. I took a button in both. On click of the button, the app navigates to 2nd app and vice versa.
 
For this I have used the below code on the OnSelect of the button: Launch("url of the app",{},LaunchTarget.Replace).
 
This helped me to open the application in the same window. 
 
After this I deployed the application on teams. But in teams when I click on the button, nothing happens. On Teams also, I want the same thing that the application open in the same window, so that the users get a seamless performance and they dont know there are 2-3 applications involved.
 
I read some posts and it said its not possible. Has anyone tried this before. The clients would be using the app in teams only. They can but they wont open the application in a browser.

    Open Another App From First App in the Same Window in Microsoft Teams
    hey
     
     
    i have never seen anything like that in Teams, that you are able to open another app in the same Teams window.
     
    the only thing i found (and i dont know if that even works is this):
     
    Launch("https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/<teamsAppId>/<powerAppId>?webUrl=https://make.powerapps.com")
     
    if that helped please mark my answer as verified, if it does not work, i guess this cant be done 
     
    why do you need to open it in the same teams window?
     
     
    cheers
