SharePoint Agents Are Coming to Teams — Here’s How to Get Ready
Microsoft is making SharePoint agents discoverable directly inside Microsoft Teams — in chats, channels, and the Teams Store. If your organization is deploying Copilot agents, this changes how your users find and use them. Here’s what’s happening, when, and what to do before it lands.
- SharePoint agents can now be found and added directly in Microsoft Teams chats and channels — no need to go to SharePoint first
- Agents appear in the Teams Store under a dedicated “Agents” category, making discovery much easier for end users
- Users on Desktop and Mac can add agents via the “Add Agents and Bots” option in the chat roster dropdown
- No admin action required — the feature is on by default and respects existing policies
- Rollout is targeted for mid-July to August 2026 for general availability
What’s actually changing
Until now, if you wanted to use a SharePoint agent, you had to go to SharePoint to find it. That friction is being removed. Microsoft is bringing SharePoint agent discovery into Teams itself — where most of your employees already spend their day.
With Roadmap ID 515465, users can open any Teams chat, click “Add Agents and Bots” from the chat roster dropdown, and see an in-context store populated with SharePoint agents available to them. They can discover, add, and start using an agent without ever leaving the Teams interface.
At the same time, SharePoint agents will appear in the main Teams Store under a dedicated “Agents” category — sitting alongside other Microsoft and third-party agents in a single, discoverable location.

Why this matters for your intranet
The biggest challenge with any Copilot agent deployment isn’t building the agent — it’s adoption. People don’t use things they can’t find. If your HR Assistant agent lives in SharePoint and your employees live in Teams, you have an adoption problem baked into your architecture.
This update closes that gap. By making SharePoint agents a first-class citizen in the Teams Store — sitting alongside apps your employees already use — Microsoft is removing the biggest structural barrier to agent adoption in the modern workplace.
For organizations that have already deployed SharePoint agents (or are planning to), this is a meaningful upgrade to your distribution model. Your agents become as discoverable as any other Teams app. That’s a significant shift.

The intranets.ai take
We’ve been saying for a while that agent adoption is a distribution problem, not a technology problem. Your agents can be brilliant — perfectly scoped, accurately grounded, well-governed — and still fail if users can’t find them in their daily flow.
Putting SharePoint agents in the Teams Store is the right call. It meets users where they are rather than asking them to change their behavior. For organizations that have done the hard work of building and governing their agents, this is the distribution upgrade they’ve been waiting for.
If you haven’t deployed SharePoint agents yet — or if your existing agents need cleanup before more people see them — now is the right time to get that done. The window before rollout is your runway.
