"One of the most notable additions is Interactive Agents for Teams for meetings and one-on-one calls, expected in September 2026. Microsoft described the feature as a way to bring interactive agents into your Teams meetings and one-on-one calls, allowing participants to engage with agents either as a group or privately. The company noted that these agents will support zero-state prompts and history to make sure that every interaction during a session is smooth and secure."
"Agents from BizChat or Copilot Studio are now available for use in meetings and calls, allowing organizations to test and iterate securely while inviting colleagues for feedback without affecting sensitive data or production. Microsoft also plans to expand Copilot's role inside meetings. By August 2026, Copilot in Teams is expected to be able to analyze content shared on-screen during meetings when recording is enabled. This new feature gives AI much more context beyond just the transcript or chat."
Microsoft Teams will add multiple AI-powered collaboration features throughout 2026, including Copilot-based interactive agents for meetings and one-on-one calls that can engage privately or with groups and support zero-state prompts and session history. Only agents built on Copilot will retain context within sessions, while BizChat and Copilot Studio agents can be tested securely without exposing sensitive production data. Copilot will also analyze on-screen shared content when meetings are recorded, combining that material with transcripts and chat to provide richer context. These updates aim to evolve Teams beyond chat and video into a more intelligent, productivity-focused workspace.
