# Microsoft Teams

> Connect Microsoft Teams to xpander and give agents its 38 actions: how to sign in and connect it, and which actions to hold for approval.

<Badge color="blue">HTTP API connector</Badge>

An HTTP API described by an OpenAPI spec, not an MCP server. Calls go to `https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0` and carry an OAuth 2.0 token obtained with **Sign in with Microsoft** on the cloud edition, or an API key or custom header on a self-hosted installation, which offers no sign-in flow.

## What the skill can do

    The simplest way to connect Microsoft Teams is by using xpander's built-in authentication:

    1. In Xpander Chat, open the agent's settings and click **Add skill**.
    2. Search for **Microsoft Teams** and select it.
    3. Click **+ Create new connection**.
    4. Enter a **connection name**, e.g., "xpander-teams".
    5. Choose **OAuth2** as the authentication method.
    6. Click **Sign in with Microsoft Teams**.
    7. Grant xpander permission to access your account.
    8. Click **Connect**.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Give an agent the Microsoft Teams skill

Once Microsoft Teams is connected, any agent you can edit may be given the skill: open the agent's settings, click **Add skill**, and choose **Microsoft Teams**. The skill panel lists the Microsoft Teams actions by group. Enable only the groups the agent needs, and mark the actions that should wait for a named person's sign-off under **These actions need approval**. Which skills exist for your organization, and who may add them, is decided by your admins; see [Skills](/use/skills).
