Power apps for beginners | Pass Company to embedded canvas app

In 10.0.19 there was a small new feature added when embedding canvas apps into Dynamics 365. It used to be that only one variable could be passed to a canvas app. Now we also have the ability to get the users current company.
Anyone that has worked with Dynamics 365 knows that whenever any sort of query is performed company needs to be included in the query.
Starting with 10.0.19 the current company is passed to the embedded power app. Today we talk about how we can get the company that is being passed by Dynamics 365 into a variable that we can use inside of our power apps canvas app.

This one seems like a small thing, but I think its pretty big. Before this if you wanted the current company you pretty much had to embed the app with code. Now that we can get the company and one other field I'm really starting to see a lot of potential for a lot more users being able to create and embed these apps.

i appreciate the info in your video - I am having some trouble with cross-company queries in the PowerApp. I have a Canvas app, using the Dynamics Finance connector…I am attempting to filter data entities with something like this: ClearCollect(CachedAssets,Filter(FixedAssetsV2,Company = FinOpsLegalEntity)); ClearCollect(CachedCusts,Filter(Customers,Company = FinOpsLegalEntity)) but i get no results unless the legal entity is the default legal entity of the user… Any ideas for how to get a cross-company scenario to work, to allow a user to operate in more than one legal entity? Basically, your video is great and covers the concept of using company...but i seem to not be able to get the queries to make use of that info...
