Note Even if the external client app is configured properly, it shows up only for the users who are authorized to see it.

1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter External Client Apps Manager, and then select **External Client Apps Manager**.
2. Select the external client app to add to the App Launcher.
3. If the developer of the external client app didn’t configure a start URL, set one now. Only external client apps configured with a start URL can be made visible in App Launcher.
    - To configure an external client app that uses an OAuth plugin, set the start URL as part of the [Set Up OAuth Flows](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.external_client_apps_oauth_flow_config.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "External Client Apps support several OAuth flows. These flows allow the third-party application to access protected resources on Salesforce.").
    - To configure an external client app that doesn't use an OAuth plugin, [set the start URL as a custom start page](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.manage_eca_start_url.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "A start URL defines the page where users end up when they run an external client app. The admin of an external client app sets an OAuth-specific start URL or a custom start URL from the Policies tab of the External Client App Manager.").
4. If the external client app uses an OAuth plugin, configure the OAuth policy for the external client app.
    - To make the external client app visible to all users, set the OAuth policy to **All users may self-authorize**.
    - To control the visibility of the external client app, change the OAuth policy to **Admin-approved users are pre-authorized** and specify which profiles and permission sets are authorized to see the app.
5. Save the external client app.
6. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter App Menu, and then select **App Menu**.
7. Locate the external client app in the list, and then select **Visible in App Launcher**.
