Install apps on Surface Hub

Article • 04/14/2023 • Applies to: Surface Hub, Surface Hub 2S

You can install additional apps on your Surface Hub to fit your team or organization's
needs. There are different methods for installing apps depending on whether you are
developing and testing an app, or deploying a released app. This topic describes
methods for installing apps for either scenario.

Surface Hub only runs

Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps

. Apps created

using the

MSIX Packaging Tool

will not run on Surface Hub.

Apps must be targeted for the

Universal device family

or Windows Team device

family.
Surface Hub only supports

offline-licensed apps

from

Microsoft Store for Business

.

By default, apps must be Store-signed to be installed. During testing and
development, you can also choose to run developer-signed UWP apps by placing
the device in developer mode.
When submitting an app to the Microsoft Store, developers need to set Device
family availability and Organizational licensing options to make sure an app will be
available to run on Surface Hub.
You need admin credentials to install apps on your Surface Hub. Since the device is
designed to be used in communal spaces like meeting rooms, people can't access
the Microsoft Store to download and install apps.

There are several options for installing apps that have been released to the Microsoft
Store, depending on whether you want to evaluate them on a few devices, or deploy
them broadly to your organization.

To install released apps:

Download the app using the Microsoft Store app, or
Download the app package from the Microsoft Store for Business, and distribute it
using a provisioning package or a supported MDM provider.
