2. Issue: Missing VSP Help Tab in Teams Web App with Edge:
- Microsoft has implemented script security measures in Teams that restrict VisualSP access when paired with the Edge browser. This security feature results in the absence of the VSP Help tab in the Teams web app. Users are encouraged to consider alternative browsers such as Chrome for an uninterrupted VisualSP experience within Teams.
3. Issue: VSP Tab Absent in outlook.office.com/people/ and app.whiteboard.microsoft.com:
- VisualSP's Help tab is not supported on outlook.office.com/people/ or app.whiteboard.microsoft.com due to Microsoft's explicit blocking of all external scripts to these applications. Unfortunately, this limitation is beyond VisualSP's control, and users are advised to explore other avenues or contact Microsoft support for assistance in these specific scenarios.
4. Note: VisualSP Help Tab Unavailable for Kaizala:
