28 Dec Introducing Approvals in Microsoft Teams
Approvals in Microsoft Teams is a way to streamline requests and processes with a team or partners. Users will be able to create new approvals, view pending approvals, and see previous ones in one place.
Users with an F3 license or above are able to take advantage of the Approvals app within Teams (license list below). If you do not have users that meet that requirement, you may safely ignore this message.

How this will affect your organization
Approvals is a native Teams application that lets users easily create, manage, and share approvals from a hub for teamwork. These approvals are triggered directly with the Power Automate infrastructure and do not require a flow with an approvals action.
Users see all of their approvals in the hub, including the approvals that have been completed. Approvals show up across all of of a user’s systems, including Power Automate, SharePoint, and Microsoft Dynamics 365.
What you need to do to prepare
The Approvals app is on by default if your tenant has enabled Power Automate.
Manage the Approvals app in the Teams Admin Center within the app page, including customizing which users are able to access the app via permission policies. Currently, all the approvals are created in your organization’s default environment.
