How to add an app to a group chat in MS Teams

The What's New for MS Teams on November 13, 2018

Apps on apps on apps

Why let channels have all the fun? Now your private group chats can add dozens of apps as tabs to make working together even more seamless. Manage project deadlines with Trello, readily access notes with OneNote, track business analytics with PowerBI, and so much more. Check out all the apps available by selecting the + at the top of any group chat.

How do I do this?
