Setup

✅

No setup needed

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

If you need Native Teams bot functionality such as separate audio streams, this will require some setup.

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 Behavior

By default, Microsoft Teams bots will need to be let in from the lobby.

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.

Limitations

Screen share capture limitations

Microsoft Teams has a more native screensharing capability that allows users to share certain applications and documents directly, instead of the typical screenshare modes of capturing a window or their entire screen.

Teams bots currently do not support capturing these, since they use a different mechanism than sharing your screen, window, or tab.

These limitations include:

• Microsoft Whiteboard
• Powerpoint live
• Excel Live

Registration-required meetings & webinars

Meetings and webinars that require registration are currently not supported.
