Microsoft Teams: Interactive Agents for Teams Meetings and Calls
After further review, we are not able to continue rolling this out at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience. Introducing a new feature that brings interactive agents into your Teams meetings and 1-on-1 calls. Engage with agents as a group or privately, with zero state prompts and history support for seamless interactions. Currently, only agents built on Copilot support sessions, meaning they can remember the context of previous interactions within the same session for more relevant responses. Custom agents do not yet have session support. All agents from BizChat/Copilot Studio are now available for use in your meetings and calls. This feature allows secure testing and iteration, inviting colleagues for feedback without affecting sensitive data or production channels.

Microsoft Teams: Agent & bot support for Entra authentication in group chats
Agents & bots in group chats will now be able to authenticate through Entra.

This targeted message is only visible to that user. This message serves two purposes: to ask the user to install the Teams app personally and to open the Entra permission consent dialog. Once both requirements are met, the app can leverage Entra for the requested permissions (e.g., Graph).
