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.

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.

🚧

We recommend keeping Login Mandatory option turned off.

Bots will fail to join Personal MS Teams links if mandatory login is enabled. If this setting is disabled, bots will only sign in when required, and will still be able to join Personal MS Teams meetings.
