GitHub Copilot in Microsoft Teams
The GitHub app for Teams now lets you @mention GitHub to have Copilot investigate a bug and open a pull request.
Overview
On October 23, 2026 GitHub updated its Microsoft Teams app, previously called GitHub notifications, to combine notifications with Copilot. You get updates in channels, group chats or private chats and can @mention GitHub to act on them; for example, after a bug report arrives in Teams you can ask GitHub to investigate, fix it and open a pull request for your team to review, test and merge. Existing GitHub notifications users should update the app. The older app will be renamed GitHub (deprecated) and retired on November 16. The changelog does not state plans or a rollout stage.
