22. Tabs
Tabs allow team members to access your service on a dedicated canvas within a channel. This lets the team work directly with the tools and data you provide, in the channel’s context, and to have conversations about them.
Common Examples:
Rich dashboards and data visualization
Collaborative documents and note taking
Group task management
Shared design canvas

23. Connectors
Office 365 Connectors help bring useful information and rich content from external services right into channels in Microsoft Teams and enable collaborating team members to have engaging conversations around them.
Here are some examples:
Twitter connector can send updates about tweets from accounts you follow or hashtags you track
GitHub connector brings updates about pull and push requests, comments, and activities from your GitHub projects
Bing News connector brings you relevant news and information on topics you care about
