M365 Changelog: (Updated) General availability – Receive all chats messages in all scopes
MC485096 – Updated January 31, 2023: Microsoft has updated the timeline and content below. Thank you for your patience.
The resource-specific consent (RSC) permissions model for receiving all message, originally developed for Microsoft Teams Graph APIs, is being extended to bot scenarios. This feature was available for the channel scope and now is being extended to chat scope. With RSC, conversation owners can consent for a bot to receive all user messages in standard channels and chats without being @mentioned.
This change is related to Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID: 100883
When this will happen:
Microsoft will begin rolling out in early March (previously early January) and expect to complete by late March (previously late January). This is intended to give developers more time to check that their apps handle the new behavior correctly, and make changes if needed.
How this effects your organization:
When developing Teams apps, this feature will enable a bot defined in the app manifest to receive all conversations messages without being @mentioned in relevant contexts where the permissions apply.
