Add a Beyond Presence Managed Agent to your Microsoft Teams meeting in a few clicks. The agent, a Conversational Video Agent (CVA), joins the Microsoft Teams meeting as a participant and shows its avatar as its camera feed. Everyone in the meeting can have a real-time, face-to-face conversation with the agent by voice.
Sending agents to external meetings is in beta and available from the Studio on paid plans.
