This repository provides a comprehensive collection of task-focused samples for developing Microsoft Teams applications. It targets developers looking to build tabs, bots, messaging extensions, and more, offering practical examples in C#, JavaScript, and TypeScript to accelerate Teams app development.

How It Works

The samples are categorized by functionality (e.g., Bots, Tabs, Messaging Extensions) and often leverage the Bot Framework SDK and Teams Toolkit. Many samples integrate with Microsoft Graph API for data access and utilize Adaptive Cards for rich, interactive user experiences within Teams. The repository also highlights samples using newer features like Microsoft 365 Copilot integration and Resource-specific consent (RSC).

Quick Start & Requirements

• Samples typically require Node.js, .NET, or Python development environments.
• Many samples utilize the Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio Code, which simplifies setup and deployment.
• Specific samples may require Azure services (e.g., Azure OpenAI, CosmosDB) or Microsoft Graph API access.
• Refer to individual sample directories for detailed setup instructions and dependencies.
• Microsoft 365 Sample Solution Gallery provides an overview.

Highlighted Details

• Extensive coverage of core Teams app types: tabs, bots, messaging extensions, and connectors.
• Numerous samples demonstrating AI integration, including Azure OpenAI for tasks like sentiment analysis and meeting summarization.
• Examples showcasing advanced features like Resource-specific consent (RSC), proactive messaging, and SSO authentication.
• Includes samples for newer capabilities like Copilot integration and meeting extensibility.
