We are announcing the upcoming launch of the “Ratings and Reviews” feature for apps on Microsoft Teams. This new addition will empower users to view feedback from customers for apps from Microsoft and other third party app publishers. Users can also provide feedback on apps they’ve installed, and by default these reviews will be marked as anonymous. Not only this, but app publishers will also have the capability to respond to these reviews via the Partner Center, thereby enabling a new mode of communication between partners and end users. Furthermore, this experience is powered by Microsoft AppSource’s Ratings Service, hence ensuring the availability of reviews on the AppSource website as well as the Teams client experience. This feature is part of our continuous effort to enhance user experience and transparency within the Teams environment.
