Frequently asked questions

This section contains the frequently asked questions and the answers.

Adaptive Card Previewer

Why do we have to use a new extension in Visual Studio Code? Can’t this extension be integrated into Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio Code?

Adaptive Card Previewer is a standalone extension because it uses a closed-source package to render the Adaptive Cards to ensure consistent rendering logic with the Teams platform. Teams Toolkit is an open-source project and doesn't include dependencies on packages that third-party developers can't access.
 

Does this extension support all Adaptive Card features in the Teams platform?

No. There are several limitations that Adaptive Card Previewer extension doesn't support.
 

Will Visual Studio be integrated into Adaptive Card Previewer?

No, Adaptive Card Previewer is available in Visual Studio Code only.
 

Bots

How can I use Adaptive Cards with a bot so that the desktop app behavior is consistent between web and mobile apps?

For more information about using Adaptive Cards with a bot, see Work with Universal Actions for Adaptive Cards.
 

How can I remove specific messages from bot history? Is there a way to get the chat history and find an activity ID of a specific message?

Use Delete messages-Bot framework's DeleteActivity method: Update and delete messages sent from bot.
 

How can I test the validity of the card schema via code?

You can test or validate the Adaptive Card schema using the Adaptive cards editor (preview) option in Developer Portal > Tools.

Why am I unable to create a bot in Developer Portal?

App registration is disabled for the user or the user doesn't have enough permissions to create an app. For more information, see limitations and known issues.

Live share

Can I use my own Azure Fluid Relay service?

Yes! When initializing Live Share, you can define your own AzureConnectionConfig. Live Share associates containers you create with meetings, but you need to implement the ITokenProvider interface to sign tokens for your containers. For example, you can use a provided AzureFunctionTokenProvider, which uses an Azure cloud function to request an access token from a server.

While most of you find it beneficial to use our free hosted service, there might still be times where it's beneficial to use your own Azure Fluid Relay service for your Live Share app. Consider using a custom AFR service connection if you:

• Require storage of data in Fluid containers beyond the lifetime of a meeting.
• Transmit sensitive data through the service that requires a custom security policy.
• Develop features through Fluid Framework, for example, SharedMap, for your application outside of Teams.

For more information, see how to guide or visit the Azure Fluid Relay documentation.
 

How long is data stored in Live Share's hosted service accessible?

Any data sent or stored through Fluid containers created by Live Share's hosted Azure Fluid Relay service is accessible for 24 hours. If you want to persist data beyond 24 hours, you can replace our hosted Azure Fluid Relay service with your own. Alternatively, you can use your own storage provider in parallel to Live Share's hosted service.
 

What meeting types does Live Share support?

Live Share supports scheduled meetings, one-on-one calls, group calls, and meet now. Channel meetings aren't yet supported.
 

Will Live Share's media package work with DRM content?

Live Share's media package doesn't work with DRM content. Teams doesn't support encrypted media for tab applications on desktop. Chrome, Edge, and mobile clients are supported.

For more information, you can track the issue here.
 

How many people can attend a Live Share session?

Live Share supports a maximum of 100 attendees per session. If it's something you're interested in, you can start a discussion here.
 

Can I use Live Share's data structures outside of Teams?

Live Share packages require the Teams Client SDK to function properly. Features in @microsoft/live-share or @microsoft/live-share-media don't work outside Microsoft Teams. If this is something you're interested in, you can start a discussion here.
 

Can I use multiple Fluid containers?

Live Share only supports having one container using our provided Azure Fluid Relay service. However, it's possible to use both a Live Share container and a container created by your own Azure Fluid Relay instance.
 

Can I change my Fluid container schema after creating the container?

Live Share doesn't support adding new initialObjects to the Fluid ContainerSchema after creating or joining a container. Because Live Share sessions are short-lived, this is most commonly an issue during development after adding new features to your app.

Note

If you are using the dynamicObjectTypes property in the ContainerSchema, you can add new types at any point. If you later remove types from the schema, existing DDS instances of those types will gracefully fail.

To fix errors resulting from changes to initialObjects when testing locally in your browser, remove the hashed container ID from your URL and reload the page. If you're testing in a Teams meeting, start a new meeting and try again.

If you plan to update your app with new SharedObject or LiveObject instances frequently, you should consider how you deploy new schema changes to production. While the actual risk is relatively low and short lasting, there might be active sessions at the time you roll out the change. Existing users in the session shouldn't be impacted, but users joining that session after you deployed a breaking change might have issues connecting to the session. To mitigate this, you might consider some of the following solutions:

• Deploy schema changes for your web application outside of normal business hours.
• Use dynamicObjectTypes for any changes made to your schema, rather than changing initialObjects.

Note

Live Share doesn't support versioning your ContainerSchema, nor does it have any APIs dedicated to migrations.

 

Are there limits to how many change events I can emit through Live Share?

While Live Share is in Preview, any limit to events emitted through Live Share isn't enforced. For optimal performance, you must debounce changes emitted through SharedObject or LiveObject instances to one message per 50 milliseconds or more. This is especially important when sending changes based on mouse or touch coordinates, such as when synchronizing cursor positions, inking, and dragging objects around a page.
 

Is Live Share supported for Government Community Cloud (GCC), Government Community Cloud High (GCC-High), and Department of Defense (DOD) tenants?

Live Share isn't supported for GCC, GCC-High, and DOD tenants.

Does Live Share support external and guest users?

Yes, Live Share supports guest and external users for most meeting types. However, guest users aren't supported in channel meetings.

Does Live Share support Teams Rooms devices?

No, Live Share doesn't support Teams Rooms devices.

Do Live Share apps support meeting recordings?

No, Live Share doesn't support meeting recordings.

Microsoft 365 Copilot

Why isn't Microsoft 365 Copilot including my agent in a response?

Ensure your app manifest (previously called Teams app manifest) is descriptive. The app manifest helps in agent matching in response to a user prompt. Also, ensure that you upload the app package to Outlook and interacted with the app, including authentication.

If the problem continues, use the thumbs down indicator in the Microsoft 365 Copilot reply and prefix your reply with [MessageExtension].
 

What descriptions should I include in app manifest?

Here's an example description that work for NPM Finder.

 "name": { 

        "short": "NPM Finder", 

        "full": "Nuget Package Manager Finder" 

    }, 

    "description": { 

        "short": "Returns information about available NPM packages", 

        "full": "The Nuget Package Manager (NPM) Finder application provides information (such as title and description) about Nuget packages available in the global NPM catalog." 

    }, 

… 

            "commands": [ 

                { 

                    "id": "searchQuery", 

                    "context": [ 

                        "compose", 

                        "commandBox" 

                    ], 

                    "description": "Searches the global NPM catalog for available packages", 

                    "title": "Search", 

                    "type": "query", 

                    "parameters": [ 

                        { 

                            "name": "searchQuery", 

                            "title": "Search Query", 

                            "description": "A package name or description of capability to search", 

                            "inputType": "text" 

                        } 

                    ] 

 

Microsoft 365 Copilot includes my agent in the response, but Microsoft 365 Copilot’s response doesn’t meet my expectations. What should I do?

Use the downvoting option in the Microsoft 365 Copilot reply and prefix your reply with [MessageExtension].
 

Can I build my own Teams message extension?

Yes, you can. Ensure that you have a descriptive app manifest and upload the app to Outlook and interacted with it.

 

How can I get my existing Teams message extension to work with Microsoft 365 Copilot?

1. Register the bot channel in Azure Bot Service.
2. Upload the app to Outlook.
   

 

What are the guidelines for Teams apps extensible as agent for Microsoft 365 Copilot?

You can read the Teams Store validation guidelines for Teams apps extensible as agent for Microsoft 365 Copilot.
 

What is the certification process?

After publishing the agent, start the App Compliance flow in Partner Center. If Publisher verification is incomplete, ensure that the App Compliance flow is completed before Microsoft 365 Certification. Then, complete Publisher Attestation, which gathers self-attested data about the agent, company, and operations. For more information, see Microsoft 365 App Compliance Program.

To start the Microsoft 365 Certification process, upload initial documents that define the assessment scope for the agent and operating environment. Depending on the scope, provide evidence for specific controls related to application security, operational security, and data handling or privacy. If you build your agent on Azure, you can use the App Compliance Automation Tool (ACAT) to scan the environment and generate evidence for several controls, reducing the manual workload. For more information, see App Compliance Automation Tool for Microsoft 365.
 

How are agents certified?

After the app passes the proactive validation, developers of both existing and new message extensions that aren't certified will be encouraged to certify their agent. This is communicated through an email confirming their message extension is validated.
 

How are new agents certified?

Developers are encouraged to certify their new agent after successfully completing validation.
 

How can I create or upgrade a message extension agent for Microsoft 365 Copilot?

You can create or upgrade a message extension as an agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot to interact with third-party tools and services and achieve more with Microsoft 365 Copilot. Additionally, your extensions must meet the standards for compliance, performance, security, and user experience outlined in guidelines to create or upgrade a message extension agent for Microsoft 365 Copilot.
 

What happens to my published message extension plugins?

All published message extension plugins will now appear as agents in the right pane of the Microsoft 365 Copilot. Depending on the partner's requirement to implement an API, they might either accept this upgrade or consider building a custom engine agent or an API-based plugin.
 

What can partners do to build a more robust agent?

If a partner wants to build a more robust agent, they can deprecate their existing plugin and build a declarative agent with custom instructions and API-based actions. For more information, see extend bot-based message extension as agent for Microsoft 365 Copilot.
 

Will declarative agents and custom engine agents have the same user experience and features?

Yes, both declarative agents and custom engine agents will have the same invocation and session history user experience, and ZQL (query language) will be supported for both.
 

Can Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) enhance their existing wrapped declarative agents moving forward?

ISVs can continue to improve their message extension agent and submit their app through standard methods or channels. However, they will be limited in terms of adding new instructions or knowledge to their agent.
 

Can partners submit both a message extension Copilot and a declarative agent?

Partners can’t have both in one app package. However, they could have them in separate app packages, but this would be unusual and would require approval as per app store validation guidelines. For more information, see validation guidelines for agents.
 

Does a declarative agent require a Copilot license?

Yes, a declarative agent requires a Copilot license, as did plugins in Copilot. The message extension continues to work as a message extension in Teams, and all declarative agents appear in the app chat.

Microsoft Graph

How can a user set their timezone to get notifications at a preferred time?

You can use the following Graph API Get user mailbox settings. You can get the user’s time zone as follows:

• GET /me/mailboxSettings/timeZone
• GET /users/{id|userPrincipalName}/mailboxSettings/timeZone
  

 

How can I deploy the code in Azure using Teams Toolkit, and use Graph API to get a user profile photo?

For more information on Teams Toolkit, see Create a new Teams project and Teams Toolkit CLI.

 

Does Graph API work in Postman?

You can use the Microsoft Graph Postman collection with Microsoft Graph APIs.

For more information, see Use Postman with the Microsoft Graph API.
 

Does Graph API work in Microsoft Graph explorer?

Yes, Graph API works in Microsoft Graph explorer.

For more information, see Graph explorer.
 

Monetize your app

Do we support in-app purchases?

Yes, we support in-app purchases. For more information, see in-app purchases.

How the flow is handled by CSP who makes the purchase for enterprise?

CSP can make purchases for enterprise from Microsoft Teams Store. For more information, see third-party app purchase.

What's the percentage fee that is taken by Microsoft?

Microsoft charges a 3% transaction fee whenever a payment is processed. So, if it's a monthly subscription, then the 3% is applied on a monthly basis. This charge applies for both credit card transactions and invoice billing.

Can I test the offer before publishing?

Yes, you can test the offer before publishing. For more information, see test your SaaS offer.

Is it mandatory to link existing Teams app to my monetization module listed on AppSource?

It's not mandatory but a good practice to implement it.

If the app is transactable on Azure Marketplace, is it also available in Microsoft AppSource or Teams by default?

No. Azure Marketplace is different than AppSource (and by extension Teams App Store). In order to be listed in the Teams App Store, Teams apps must be submitted in Partner Center for AppSource. It must have a linked transactable offer and must update their Teams app manifest to include their publisher and offer IDs. Once done, resubmit to Partner Center for validation before they appear in the Teams App Store with a Buy a subscription button.

What are the additional steps to get Buy a subscription option on Teams Store?

You must add the IDs to the manifest (and uploading through PC to validate) that shows the Buy a subscription button in Teams. Partners can continue to have apps available in Teams and require customers to purchase through AppSource. Going through a few additional steps brings the purchase option into the Teams Store.​

Can ISV set different pricing per country per region?

Yes. For more information, see pricing and offers.

What are the possible scenarios my partner may face when submitting their Teams app for validation?

• Scenario 1: Partner has an existing Teams app and an existing transactable SaaS offer​.
• Scenario 2: Partner has an existing Teams app and NO existing transactable SaaS offer.
• Scenario 3: Partner has NO existing Teams app and an existing transactable SaaS offer.
• Scenario 4: Partner has NO existing Teams app and NO existing transactable SaaS offer.

What are CSPs looking for when matching with ISVs?

To be channel ready places, ISVs in the best position to be successfully matched as CSPs must look for:​

1. Complementary apps to add to their bundles solutions and services​.
2. An attractive margin, balancing their effort with potential revenue​.
3. Materials that are easy to consume and ready to use with customers.

Are partners able to provide a minimum number of licenses available to purchase as part of a subscription?

Yes. For more information, see subscription purchase experience.

How can subscribers upgrade, downgrade, or cancel their subscriptions? Can they upgrade from monthly to annual?

Yes. Upgrade, downgrade, and canceling subscriptions are allowed. For more information on license management, see license management.

Does Teams app support metered billing?

Yes. Metered billing is available for SaaS offer. For more information, see metered billing for SaaS offers.

Moodle

What should I do if one or more of the course teams weren't created after synchronization?

Each Moodle course must have at least one faculty and one student matched to a Microsoft 365 account username. The team can't be created if the synchronization doesn't find a match.

Each team course instance must have an owner, and the synchronization sets the faculty as the owner, with assumption that the faculty has Teams license.
 

What should we do to remove Moodle login page when working from Teams? Can we force single sign-on (SSO)?

The app users have multiple sign-in options from the Moodle login page.

• To sign in exclusively using Microsoft 365 credentials, enable the Force redirect configuration settings for the auth_oidc plugin. If the service is enabled, the app user can see the Microsoft sign in page.
• To sign in manually to the Moodle portal, see Moodle.
  

 

How can I specify which users to sync? I don’t want all Microsoft Entra users synchronized with the Moodle website.

Use the User Creation Restriction option to specify the app users by synchronizing the configuration options of the local_o365 plugin. The dropdown menu to the left of the filter offers options, such as Country or region, Company Name, and Language.

Tip

Create a dynamic Microsoft 365 group to enable the filter option with multiple profile properties.

The following image shows user creation restrictions options:

 

We would like our faculty to be able to synchronize courses to Teams. Are Moodle administrators the only ones who can control synchronization of courses?

By default, only Moodle administrators can configure synchronization. The team owner can control if a course is synchronized to Teams and Allow configure course sync in course is enabled. In this case, the team owner is the faculty. The block displays the configuration option to individuals with the appropriate owner permissions.

The following image shows the option Allow configure course sync in course:

The following image shows synchronization of courses:

 

We have followed the documentation, but the user accounts fail to sync Microsoft Entra ID and Moodle. What should we do?

The issue can be resolved before users perform the Delta token clean up as a final troubleshooting step.

The following table provides the actions and dependencies to be performed and checked:

Dependency	Action	Reference
Stable version	Verify that the version of Moodle is listed as a stable.	For more information, see Version support.
Permissions	Verify that the Azure application has the necessary permissions to run the synchronization.	For more information, see Microsoft permissions.
Full sync	Verify that Perform a full sync each run is enabled, and review the Task Logs for Sync users with Microsoft Entra ID.	For more information, see Enable full sync For more information, see Check task logs.
Token refresh	Clean the User sync delta token in the local_o365 plugin.	For more information, see, Token refresh.

 

One or more users are unable to sign in using their Microsoft 365 credentials, although most users can sign in without an issue. What would be the cause of this inconsistency?

The reason for inconsistencies with users being able unable to sign using their Microsoft 365 credentials can be related to the user mapping operation during synchronization. To resolve the issue, perform the following steps:

• Check if the Moodle user authentication type is OpenID.
• Check if the Moodle User Name matches the Microsoft Entra username.
• Clean up the Token Issue and retry.
• Check if the users have Permissions to access the Azure application.
  

 

All users are unable to sign in using their Microsoft 365 credentials. What can we do to resolve this?

Users who were unable to sign in at the start need to report the issue and verify that the application's Client secret hasn't expired.

The following image shows the error message received when a user signs in using their Microsoft 365 credentials:

The following image shows the error in Azure portal:

If the Client secret has expired, then the app user needs to generate a new Client secret, and update the configuration found on page. Users can sign in again after the Client secret has been updated, which can take up to 24 hours to re-provision.
 

How to change the Teams instance that is linked to a course?

Administrators can change the Teams instance associated with a course through the Manage Teams Connections page. Select Connect next to the course to be changed and select a Teams instance. If you use course reset to archive a team, you can link it back to the previous team.

The following image shows the Teams instance:

 

Why isn’t the Atto Teams meeting integration showing up within the Atto editor?

The user can face Atto Teams meeting issue if the icon reference is missing in the Toolbar config, which displays the Teams icon within the Atto editor. The user needs to add Teams meeting icon to the right of the links icon using the following steps:

1. Install the plugin.
2. Update Toolbar config with teams meeting.

The following images show Toolbar icon after Toolbar configuration adjustment:

For more information on editing Atto toolbar, see:

• Atto editor-ModdleDocs
• Atto editor-Icon mapping

 

Do the meetings scheduled through Microsoft integration appear in Outlook or in Teams calendars? What is the standard timeline for the meetings to be displayed?

The meetings scheduled through the app don't appear in the scheduler’s Outlook or Teams calendar as they're similar to Channel Meetings. All the members in the course channel can attend the meeting directly from the embedded channel link. For more information, see Channel meetings.

However, you can access the invite and manually add participant names to the Required or Optional fields of the meeting invitation to display the remote meeting on their calendars. The standard timelines are based on the date the user specifies when the meeting is created. For more information, see Limits and specifications for Teams.
 

Is there any support site where we can get more help on products and other issues?

For support and help on the product and services issues or developer community help see, Support and feedback.

Notifications

How can I save conversation reference in a proactive bot?

It's recommended that you save conversation references to database and use the same for building conversation object to send proactive message.

Single sign-on

How can I validate a user when they invoke an Adaptive Card?

You can open the authentication page in the dialog (referred as task module in TeamsJS v1.x) when the user selects the button.

You can use the code sample for opening the dialog on button click. You can replace the taskInfo.url with your auth page.

 

How can I change application ID URI of SSO scope to use bot ID also so that the consent window won't be required for a bot app?

For more information, see Configure your app in Microsoft Entra ID.
 

I want to open an iframe that contains a React app (that displays confidential information) from a bot dialog (referred as task module in TeamsJS v1.x) securely. Can you suggest what is the best, easiest, and standard approach to perform this operation?

Implement react page with tab SSO and render the content as required. You can open the same tab URL as dialog from bot.

For more information, see Enable SSO for tab app.
 

How can I avoid SDK timeout error while the app user signs in?

Open the sign in simple start page instead of opening login page directly to resolve the issue.
 

How can I generate the access token using the endpoint oauth2/v2.0/token with grant type as authorization_code?

Configure the application you're using to only execute HTML encoding of the scopes once, so the scopes can be correctly sent and evaluated by Microsoft Entra ID.
 

How can I implement Bot SSO using React?

If you use Teams Toolkit to build your app, see Add single sign-on to Teams app for more information.

For more information about Node js code sample, see Bot SSO quick-start.
 

Stageview

Which Stageview should I use?

Collaborative Stageview allows the users to open content along with a side panel conversation in a Teams window. This view is best suited for most of the collaboration scenarios.

What's the difference between Stageview Modal and dialogs?

Stageview Modal is useful to display rich content to the users, such as page, dashboard, or file.
Dialogs (referred as task modules in TeamsJS v1.x) are useful to display messages that need users' attention or collect information required to move to the next step.

When Stageview is invoked, the content opens in Collaborative Stageview but gets loaded in the main Teams window instead of a new window. How to open the content in a new window?

Ensure that your contentUrl domain is accurately reflected in the manifest validDomains property. For more information, see app manifest schema.

Why isn't any content displayed in a new Teams window even when contentUrl matches with validDomains?

Call app.notifySuccess() in all iframe-based contents to notify Teams that your app is loaded successfully. If applicable, Teams hides the loading indicator. If notifySuccess isn't called within 30 seconds, Teams assumes that the app is timed out and displays an error screen with a retry option. For app updates, this step is applicable for tabs that are already configured. If you don't perform this step, an error screen is displayed for the existing users.

Can I include a deep link in my contentUrl?

No, deep links aren't supported in contentUrl.

How do I keep a specific thread shown alongside my content?

Collaborative Stageview from a deep link or a stageView API comes with the additional threadId parameter. You can explicitly define the chat thread to be displayed in the side panel for your specific contentUrl. For more information about retrieving a threadId, see get conversation thread.

Tabs

How can I use deeplink to get the subEntityId or subPageId on mobile client while navigating from one tab to another tab?

Which tab gets pinned if both configurable tab and static tab are defined in the app manifest for a specific scope?

If you have both configurable tab and static tab defined in your app manifest for a specific scope, Teams pins the static tab by default.
 

What if I already have pre-existing pinned configurable tabs after switching to static tabs?

Pre-existing pinned configurable tab instances of your app continue to work the same. You don't have the option to pin new instances of these configurable tabs. When you select to pin your tab, then Teams pins the static tab of your app.
