 **Solution**: To fix this issue, remove the custom tab and add a new tab with the same app. If you don't have permissions to remove the custom tab and add a new tab, contact the team owner for assistance.

 IT admins can install Microsoft Teams apps that work on Microsoft Outlook and the Microsoft 365 app (formerly known as Office.com) for some or all users in their organization. You can easily preinstall the apps on the supported hosts. Alternately, users install apps on their own if you [allow users to use apps](manage-apps.md#allow-or-block-apps). You can proactively install apps for users so that you help them discover apps easily, ensure app retention, and save user's effort to install. For example, you can install IT helpdesk or ticketing app for all new employees to provide an easy and quick way for new joiners to seek support.
