How to Connect OpenClaw to Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams integration requires navigating Azure Bot Service, Bot Framework, and Teams app manifests. This advanced guide walks you through registering an Azure Bot, creating a Teams app package, configuring OpenClaw for Bot Framework compliance, and deploying a production-ready Teams bot.
Why This Is Hard to Do Yourself
These are the common pitfalls that trip people up.
Azure Bot Service setup
Teams requires an Azure Bot registration, app service deployment, and Bot Framework authentication before your bot can send a single message
Teams app manifest complexity
The manifest.json file has strict schema requirements, icon dimensions, and capability declarations. One error blocks the entire install.
Bot Framework authentication
Teams uses Microsoft Identity for bot authentication. Token validation, tenant ID verification, and audience claims must all be correct.
Activity types and attachments
Teams uses Bot Framework's activity schema with unique message types, adaptive cards, and attachment formats that differ from other platforms
Admin approval requirements
Enterprise Teams tenants often require admin approval before users can install third-party apps
