Microsoft Teams: Users can view app ratings before installing apps or agents

🚨 The Signal: Users can now see app ratings before installing Teams apps or Copilot agents. This provides a new data point for users to assess risk, potentially reducing the installation of unvetted or malicious applications.

The Impact

All users are affected, with a minor positive impact on security posture by providing more pre-installation context.

• End-users: Gain visibility into app quality before installation, potentially avoiding risky apps.
• Security Teams: Benefit from users making more informed choices, reducing shadow IT risk.
• Admins: May see a slight reduction in support tickets related to problematic apps.
