GitHub Integrates Copilot Coding Agent with Microsoft Teams to Streamline Developer Collaboration

GitHub has launched a new feature embedding its AI-powered Copilot coding agent directly into Microsoft Teams, enabling developers to generate pull requests and handle routine tasks without leaving the collaboration platform. The integration responds to growing demand for seamless workflows in distributed teams.

Developers can now trigger Copilot by mentioning @GitHub in Teams conversations, delegating tasks like bug fixes, refactoring, and feature scaffolding. The tool aims to free engineers for higher-value problem-solving while maintaining context within existing communication channels.

Implementation requires Copilot subscription activation, GitHub app installation in Teams, and repository configuration. Enterprise users need administrative approval, reflecting GitHub's focus on secure, policy-compliant AI adoption in professional environments.
