Microsoft Teams: Identify bots joining your Teams meetings

Originally posted by Microsoft Mar 6, 2026 Uncategorized 0 Comments

During Teams meetings, if there is an external 3P bot trying to join the meeting, organizers will be able to see a clear representation of the bots while they wait in the lobby. Organizers will be required to explicitly and separately admit these bots into the meeting, if really required. This approach will ensure that no one inadvertently accepts the external bots into the meeting ensuring that the organizers have full control over the presence of these bots.
