Try this interactive demo to learn how to integrate GitHub Copilot with Microsoft 365.

‍

You can achieve this integration by adding Microsoft 365 in Visual Studio Code and use GitHub Copilot as an assistant for Microsoft 365. Here’s how to do it:

‍

Click the gear icon at the bottom left to open settings and dive into extensions.
Select "Extensions" from the menu to browse what's available for VS Code.
In the marketplace search bar, type "Microsoft 365" and select from the results.
Then, hit "Install" to have Microsoft 365 deploy agents.
You will now see Microsoft 365 from the Visual Studio Code sidebar.
In GitHub Copilot Chat, type @teamsapp to ask questions specifically about building or extending Microsoft 365 Copilot.

📌 Why this matters

This integration transforms your development workflow by letting you build Microsoft 365 applications and Copilot extensions directly within your familiar coding environment. You gain access to specialized AI assistance through the @teamsapp agent, which understands the nuances of Microsoft's ecosystem better than generic coding assistants.

The real advantage emerges when you're customizing business workflows – you can rapidly prototype Teams apps, SharePoint solutions, and custom Copilot behaviors while maintaining context between your code and Microsoft's specific APIs and best practices.
