Grok Bot Microsoft Teams support lets your company’s shared Bots join Microsoft Teams, so people can chat with a Bot or @mention it in a channel and get the answer in the same conversation. It needs two admins to say yes. Here’s the full setup from xAI’s docs.
Key takeaways
- A team admin enables Microsoft Teams on the Grok Bot dashboard.
- The Bot owner connects it and picks which teams it joins.
- A Microsoft Teams admin approves it in the Teams admin center.
- Teammates link their Teams accounts, then chat or @mention it.
- Want AI agents rolled out across your team? Claim a free strategy session.
Two ways Grok Bot works with Microsoft Teams
- A shared Bot inside Teams. Your team’s shared Bot joins Microsoft Teams, and colleagues chat with it or @mention it in a channel (shared Bots docs). This page covers that setup.
- Teams as a connected app. Through Microsoft’s Graph connection, a Bot can read your Teams messages, and routines can start from a Microsoft Teams message (security docs, changelog).
Shared Bots are a team feature. Grok Bot is included on the Teams plan and switched on for every member, and Enterprise admins turn it on from the dashboard (teams and enterprises docs).
1. A team admin enables Microsoft Teams
On the Grok Bot page of the dashboard, under Shared Bots, choose Enable next to Enable Microsoft Teams and sign in with a Microsoft Teams or Global administrator account. The row then shows Microsoft Teams enabled for your organization, and Revoke turns it off. Only team admins can do this.

2. Connect the Bot
The Bot’s owner or a Manager opens the Bot’s details and finds Bring to your team’s Microsoft Teams (or Manage → Channels), then chooses Connect. Sign in with Microsoft in the browser window and choose which teams the Bot should join.
3. A Teams admin approves it
While the dialog says Waiting on admin approval, a Microsoft Teams admin approves 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. Setup finishes by itself once they approve.
- If Teams didn’t accept the app, your organization may block custom apps. The dialog offers Download app package for your admin.
- If Channels shows Blocked by your organization’s Teams app policy, a Teams admin needs to allow the app.
- Changing the Bot’s name or picture needs Update in Teams, and that update waits for the admin too.
4. Teammates link their accounts
Each teammate links their Microsoft Teams account in Settings → General → Shared Bots, by choosing Link next to Microsoft Teams account. After that they can chat with the Bot, or @mention it in a channel of a team it joined, and it replies in the same conversation.

What the latest updates fixed
The changelog shows steady Teams work. On 6 November (v0.79.3), a failed Teams admin sign-in now shows Microsoft’s own error with Try again. On 3 November, pasted links in Teams messages keep their address so the Bot can open them, and removing and reconnecting a Bot no longer leaves a duplicate in Teams search. The admin setup checklist now includes a Slack or Microsoft Teams step.
Keep control
A shared Bot is used by many people, so decide what it may do on its own. Use Ask first rules for sending messages, give it only the apps it needs, and review what it learns: a shared Bot’s new learnings wait under To review until an owner approves them.
My verdict
Get both admins lined up first, connect one shared Bot to one team, and have teammates link their accounts. With approval rules in place, Grok Bot Microsoft Teams puts a useful team assistant where your company already works.
