Even when the consents are set correctly in Azure AD and the permissions have been granted, the error message will stay.
The app can’t be installed.
In some cases the group owner consent has been turned off in Azure which causes to block the installation process. To enable it, please follow these instructions: Deployment Microsoft Teams app | Allow-team-owners-to-install-apps-by-themselves
App missing from search
In case you can’t even find the app in search, your administrator probably has disabled all non-approved apps.
