As a Microsoft Teams administrator, you have the ability to enhance the appearance of your app (tab app experience and/or topic-to-channel mapping) with branding customization, creating a personalized and branded experience for users within your community. These modifications ensure alignment with your organization's identity and branding guidelines. For instance, you can customize the app's description and icon, allowing users to easily recognize it as an internal tool tailored to your organization's unique needs. Note that customizing your app does not change any app functionality.

The following are the visual assets in your app that can be customized:

• Short name
• Short description
• Full description
• Color icon
• Outline icon
• Accent color
