Teams Admin
When a new version of the Chime app is published to the Microsoft Teams Store, Teams administrators can monitor and manage the update directly from the Teams Admin Center.
Once Microsoft makes the new version available, it will appear under Teams apps → Manage apps, where admins can review the latest app version, permissions, and publisher details. If the updated app introduces new permission requests such as additional Graph API access or integration capabilities the admin will see these highlighted in the app’s details panel.
Admins can review and approve the permission changes, otherwise, the app will prompt all end users to consent to the permissions when they update the app on their Teams client. The new version will propagate across the tenant, allowing users to access the updated Chime experience.
End User
When a new version of the Chime app becomes available in Microsoft Teams, end users will see an Update button appear within the app itself. By clicking this button, users can quickly install the latest version and gain access to new features. The update process is fast and seamless, allowing you to instantly get access to the new features.
After updating, some users may notice that the changes don’t appear right away due to Teams client caching. If this happens, simply restart the Microsoft Teams client or navigate away from the Chime app and then return. This forces Teams to reload the app and ensures that all updates are fully applied. Once refreshed, users will be running the latest version of Chime with all new enhancements active.
Someone who Installed from Teams Store - No Tenant Set Up
If you’ve installed the Chime app in Microsoft Teams but haven’t yet licensed it, you’ll still receive new updates and features as part of the evaluation experience. Each time a new version of the app is released, you’ll have access to the latest features and interface improvements. However, if the updated version introduces new permission requirements, you may be prompted to review and approve these permissions before continuing to use the app.
The app will update automatically, and you’ll be able to explore all the latest Chime features during your exploration experience. If you don’t immediately see the updates applied, try to restart the Microsoft Teams client or navigate away from the Chime app and then return. After doing so, you’ll be running the newest version of Chime, ready to test the latest tools and integrations available.
