Summary:
Microsoft Teams group chat agents and bots will support Entra authentication starting November 3-6, 2025. Users without the Teams app or Entra consent receive a private prompt to install the app and grant permissions. This feature is enabled by default, requiring no admin action.
Details:
Agents and bots in Microsoft Teams group chats will now be able to authenticate through Entra. When an app requests a user's Entra token in a group chat, if that user does not have the Teams app installed and/or has not granted Entra consent, they are sent a targeted message. This targeted message is only visible to that user and serves two purposes: to prompt the user to install the Teams app and to open the Entra permission consent dialog. Once both requirements are met, the app can leverage Entra for the requested permissions (such as Graph).
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 503557.
[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide): Begins November 3, 2025, and completes by November 6, 2025
General Availability (GCC): Begins and completes November 6, 2025.
