Update an app in Microsoft Teams
Most app updates happen automatically in Teams, but when an app update requires new permissions, you must manually accept the update. Once you do, the update will be applied everywhere you have the right to change things. That might include chats, channels, meetings, or other places.

On the Manage your apps page, you’ll see that your apps have been sorted so that the ones that need updates are at the top. Select Update for each app you want to update.

When you select Update for an app, a dialog with that app's details will appear, including a What’s new tab describing how the latest updates change the app. If necessary, the What’s new tab will also include a list of permissions for you to accept.
