Polly is not working in Teams meeting, what do I do? 

In order to ensure that Polly works smoothly in your Teams meeting, make sure that:

1. You are using Polly in a meeting that is scheduled through MS Teams Calendar 🗓  Adding/using apps functionality is not available for instant in-channel meetings initiated through the "Meet" functionality
2. The meeting made via Teams Calendar 🗓 is not assigned to a channel as MS Teams does not support apps in Channel meetings i.e. the meeting is assigned to specific users, but not assigned to the channel (screenshot below)
   
3. You are on the latest version of MS Teams
