#PowerApps #PeoplePicker

Are you tired of using the same old worn out combo boxes and dropdowns for your people picker needs in Power Apps? While using a dropdown or combo box is a functional way to get a people picker control in Power Apps, it is very rigid in what we can actually do to style it.

In this video, I will walk you through the steps to create your own custom people picker control in Power Apps that mimics the look and feel of a Microsoft Teams people picker. This approach uses the Office 365 Users connector to search users from your tenant. It is completely customizable with a ton of freedom and options for styling the control. I'll walk you through the basics of how to set it up and talk you through some of the styling choices I made to make it look pretty.
