Setup

✅

No setup needed

Teams Web bots work "out-of-the-box," no setup or configuration needed.

Recording Behavior

No recording permission is needed for Microsoft Teams calls.

This means that as long as the bot is in the call, it will be able to record.

Joining & Lobby Behavior

By default, Microsoft Teams bots will need to be let in from the lobby, though this behavior can be overridden by Teams organization settings.

Authenticated Teams bots are still subject to any lobby settings enabled by the host. For instance, the host can still require that all participants enter through the waiting room.

For additional details on Teams Lobby settings, please see the official Teams documentation on this topic.

Best practices

Due to the above behavior, users may run into scenarios where they're unable to let in their own bot from the lobby (for example, when attending external meetings).

To ensure that a participant with the appropriate permissions allows the bot into the call, we recommend that end users notify the host of the meeting in advance that they plan to bring a notetaker to the meeting.
