Microsoft Teams: Identify bots joining your Teams meetings
Meeting organizers will now see external third-party bots joining the meeting lobby and must explicitly approve each bot before it enters. This gives organizers greater control and prevents inadvertent bot admissions.

- 2024 — rollout (Rolling out across Worldwide Standard Multi-Tenant, GCC, Android, Desktop, iOS, and Mac)
Microsoft's description
During Teams meetings, if there is an external 3P bot trying to join the meeting, organizers will be able to see a clear representation of the bots while they wait in the lobby. Organizers will be required to explicitly and separately admit these bots into the meeting, if really required. This approach will ensure that no one inadvertently accepts the external bots into the meeting ensuring that the organizers have full control over the presence of these bots.
