Listen Later

Do you know Why Your Teams App Store Launch Fails Without This Simple TRICK? Many developers face a month-long verification process, confusing bureaucracy, and unexpected rejections from Microsoft. In this interview, veteran Teams developer Hilton Giesenow reveals the simple "trick" to bypass these issues: using Microsoft's sideloading option to test your MVP with beta customers before you ever submit to the store. You'll learn the pros (like 0% commission) and cons of the Teams ecosystem, and find out why your biggest competitor might actually be Microsoft itself. Our guest is Hilton Giesenow, the founder and CEO of ChitChattr, which develops a family of products on Microsoft Teams. Check out the company: https://chitchattr.com
