We are excited to announce the launch of the #⁠microsoft-store channel on Discord, a dedicated space where you can connect, engage, and share feedback on everything related to the Microsoft Store app, website, Partner Center, MSIX packaging, and AppInstaller. It’s time to get your questions answered and join the conversation! 🎉

This channel is part of the UWP Community Discord server, a place that connects Windows App users, creators and engineers from around the world.

You can also use Discord right from your browser, or through the official app available on all smartphones! 📱

In collaboration with PMs, engineers, leads, and social media managers from the Microsoft Store teams, we have created the #⁠microsoft-store channel to provide you with a direct line of communication. We already have a strong presence of over 20 professionals, and we’re constantly growing!
