Connect Microsoft Teams to GitHub Copilot

Give GitHub Copilot governed access to Microsoft Teams’s 60 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.

Set up

Add Microsoft Teams to GitHub Copilot in four steps

Admins approve the server once. Everyone in GitHub Copilot then gets it through the same governed connection.

  1. 1

    Approve Microsoft Teams in Runlayer

    Add Microsoft Teams from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.

  2. 2

    Connect GitHub Copilot to Runlayer

    GitHub Copilot gets connector tools through the Runlayer Plugin, and reaches Microsoft Teams’s 60 tools through the plugin’s search and execute tools.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Microsoft Teams

    Sign in the way Microsoft Teams requires. Runlayer holds the credentials so they stay out of the client’s configuration.

  4. 4

    Use Microsoft Teams from GitHub Copilot

    Microsoft Teams’s approved tools appear in GitHub Copilot. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in GitHub Copilot

Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what GitHub Copilot exposes to Runlayer.

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every Microsoft Teams call from GitHub Copilot passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

    Each call is recorded with the user, GitHub Copilot as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.

  • Native enforcement adapter (not available)

    Runlayer has no device-side adapter for GitHub Copilot yet, so control happens at the gateway.
