Microsoft Teams: Interactive agents for meetings and calls

Updated September 17, 2025: After further review, this has been delayed to a later date. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Introducing a new feature that will bring interactive agents into Microsoft Teams meetings and 1-on-1 calls. Users will be able to engage with agents as a group or privately, with zero-state prompts and history support for seamless interactions. Before this rollout, only agents built on Microsoft Copilot can support sessions, which means they can remember the context of previous interactions in the same session, for more relevant responses. Custom agents do not yet have session support.

After this rollout, all agents from Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat and Microsoft Copilot Studio will be available for users in their meetings and calls. This feature will allow developers to invite colleagues to give feedback and securely test agents, without affecting sensitive data or production channels.

A Microsoft 365 Copilot license or a Microsoft 365 license is required to use this feature. As part of the Microsoft 365 SKUs, if users have access to declarative agents in Microsoft Copilot Chat, agents are available in their meetings and calls. No license is required for custom engine agents.

This message applies to Teams for Windows desktop, Teams for Mac desktop, and Teams for the web.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 490564.

When this will happen:

Targeted Release: We will communicate via Message center when we are ready to proceed. 

General Availability (Worldwide, GCCH): We will communicate via Message center when we are ready to proceed. 

How this will affect your organization:

After this rollout, users will be able to discover and acquire new agents (and view installed ones) from the existing apps pane in meetings by using @mentions or the + button in the compose box in chat.

Benefits:

• Easy access and interaction with agents during meetings and calls
• Seamless interactions with zero-state prompts and history support
• Private and group-scoped agents for personal assistance and for improved group collaboration

This feature will be available by default. No action is required to enable this feature for meetings and 1-on-1 calls.

Users will be able to privately interact with an agent in their meetings and calls. In this screenshot, a user begins a private chat with the Contoso agent to ask questions related to the context of the meeting:

Users can choose to escalate a private agent interaction to the group. In this screenshot, a user has added a private agent. The user can then share the agent to the group, adding it to the meeting chat for everyone to view and interact with the agent:

What you need to do to prepare:

This rollout will happen automatically by the specified dates with no admin action required before the rollout. Review your current configuration to assess the impact on your organization. You may want to notify your users about this change and update your relevant documentation.

To prepare for rollout, admins can pre-pin meeting agents for their tenants, enabling users to easily discover and use the most relevant agents for their work.
