GitHub · Original announcement: 2026-10-23

Copilot in Teams

GitHub has launched a consolidated Microsoft Teams app that brings notifications and Copilot together, letting teams turn an issue update into a pull request from chat. For teams already using GitHub notifications, existing capabilities continue to work after updating; users on the legacy app will need to move to the new consolidated app before its November 16 retirement.

Who can use it: The consolidated GitHub app is available in Microsoft Teams. Users with GitHub notifications already installed should update to the latest version; the legacy GitHub app will be renamed GitHub (deprecated) and retired on November 16.

Keep in mind: GitHub describes the workflow change and app consolidation, but the announcement does not prove speed, quality, or shipping outcomes. Existing notification capabilities continue to work for current GitHub notifications users.
