Use Grok Bot in Microsoft Teams

Bring a Team Bot into Microsoft Teams so your team can mention it in channels, chat with it directly, and add it to group chats. It works the way it does in Slack: it acts for the person who asked, uses their usage, and asks before risky actions.

• A published Team Bot. You must be its owner or a Manager.
• Microsoft Teams turned on for your Cursor team by a team admin. See How does a team admin turn on Microsoft Teams?
• A Microsoft account in the organization that uses Teams.

1. On the Grok Bot page of the team dashboard, under Shared Bots, choose Enable next to Enable Microsoft Teams.
2. Sign in with a Microsoft Teams or Global administrator account and accept the permissions Microsoft shows.

The row then shows that Microsoft Teams is enabled for your organization. Bot owners on the team can now connect their own Bots. Revoke turns it off. A Microsoft Teams admin still approves each Bot in the Teams admin center.

The owner or a Manager connects it, after publishing:

1. Open the Bot's details and find Bring to your team's Microsoft Teams, or choose Manage and look under Channels. Choose Connect Microsoft Teams.
2. Finish signing in with Microsoft in the browser window that opens. Confirm it's the right account, and choose an organization if you belong to more than one.
3. While the dialog says Waiting on admin approval, a Microsoft Teams admin needs to approve the Bot in the Teams admin center, under Teams apps > Manage apps > Pending approval. Microsoft doesn't notify them, so send them the link the dialog shows. Choose Check again right after they approve, or Cancel request to stop.

Once it's approved, Microsoft Teams finishes setting up the Bot on its own, which can take up to an hour. The dialog then says the Bot is in Microsoft Teams, with Open in Teams. To use it in a channel, add it to a team from Microsoft Teams, and the dialog lists the teams it's been added to.

If a Teams admin declines the Bot, the dialog shows their note. Make any changes and choose Resubmit.

The Bot needs to know who you are before it can act for you. The first time you message it, it replies with a Link Account card that only you can see. Choose it and sign in with your Microsoft account.

You can also link first: open Settings > General > Team Bots and choose Link next to Microsoft Teams account. If it says your admin hasn't turned on Microsoft Teams for your organization yet, ask a Cursor team admin to enable it.

• Answer in channels and chats. Mention the Bot in a channel of a team it joined, add it to a group chat, or message it directly.
• Read the conversation. It reads the thread it's in, and the channels of the teams it joined.
• Work with files. It reads files attached to posts and sends you files through your OneDrive. If you ask for a file in a channel or group chat, it asks you to message it directly instead.
• Act for you. It uses your usage and asks you before risky actions, the same as in Slack. See How do approvals work on a Team Bot?

To have a Bot join a Teams call and transcribe it, see Add a Bot to your meetings.

• Name or picture. After you change them, the dialog says the Bot's name or avatar changed. Choose Update in Teams. If your Teams admin has to approve the change, it shows An update is waiting for your Teams admin.
• Remove it. Choose Remove from Microsoft Teams in the same dialog. This removes the app from your Microsoft Teams organization, and teammates can't reach the Bot there until it's added again.
• Disconnect your Microsoft account. This disconnects it from every Bot you own in that organization, not only this one. Bots already in Teams keep answering there.
• Delete the Bot. Deleting a Bot also removes it from Microsoft Teams.

If none of these match, contact support with the Bot's name, the exact message, and your Grok Bot version.
