Overview

Sign-In your Teams bots into a Microsoft account.

By default the Teams bot will join meeting as guest participant.

This means that, by default, MS Teams bots:

  1. Cannot join meetings which only allow signed in users.
  2. Will appear as "Unverified"
2\) By default, Teams bots will have an `(Unverified)` label.  
This can be alarming for end users, and can be removed by signing in the bot into a MS account.

2) By default, Teams bots will have an (Unverified) label.
This can be alarming for end users, and can be removed by signing in the bot into a MS account.

To overcome these limitations, you can configure your Teams bots to sign into a Microsoft account before joining a meeting.

Important Considerations

There are some important things to be aware of when using Microsoft Teams bots:

  • The bot name cannot be overridden: Signed in Teams bots get their name from the Teams account used to authenticate the bot, which overrides the bot_name parameter in Create Bot.
  • Signed in bots only work for Business Microsoft Teams meetings.

⚠️

Personal MS Teams not supported

Bots will fail to join Personal MS Teams links if mandatory login is enabled. While a vast majority of Teams meetings are using Business Teams, you should still be aware of this limitation if you have users that use the Personal version of MS teams.
