Copilot Studio

How to use Microsoft Teams with Copilot Studio

You want Microsoft Teams inside Copilot Studio so it can triage a busy Teams workspace, turn meeting transcripts into follow-up, prepare and send a team update, and coordinate a Teams meeting — without you copy-pasting between tabs. Here is the whole setup, once.

Create your Microsoft Teams gateway

The gateway is the thing Copilot Studio connects to, and it is where you decide which Microsoft Teams tools an agent may use. You create it once and every client reuses it.

Create an Arcade account

Sign up and open the dashboard. The free tier is enough to follow this through.
Create an MCP Gateway and select your Microsoft Teams tools

In the dashboard, create a gateway and pick the Microsoft Teams tools you want to expose. The gateway is what your client connects to, and it is where tool access is decided.
Copy your gateway URL

Every client below needs it.

Connect the gateway to Copilot Studio

Heads up

Needs a Microsoft 365 subscription with access to Copilot Studio, plus an Arcade API key.

Add an MCP tool to your agent

In Copilot Studio, open your agent → Tools → Add a tool → Model Context Protocol → New tool.
Point it at your gateway

Give the server a name and description, put your gateway URL in Server URL, set Authentication to OAuth 2.0 and Type to Dynamic discovery.
Authorize and try it out

Saving redirects you to Arcade to approve access. Then start a conversation and use your Microsoft Teams tools — Arcade authorizes each service just in time.

Copilot Studio can now act on your Microsoft Teams account. Click a prompt to copy it.

Use tool permissions to keep an agent read-only until you need it to send messages, edit conversations, cancel meetings, or change chat members. Pair it with Contextual Access policies so those actions can require approval before they happen.
