Documents how Microsoft controls signed-in Teams identity.

  • explains why bot_name cannot override the Microsoft 365 name or profile
  • shows one-account-per-identity selection with credential_id
  • clarifies email_group pool identity behavior and same-account attendee merging
  • links setup, Teams login, and Create Bot references directly

Teams bot identity

Layer / File(s) Summary
Microsoft 365 identity model
content/docs/api-v2/authenticated-bots/teams/index.mdx, content/docs/api-v2/authenticated-bots/teams/setup.mdx
The documentation states that authenticated bots use the selected Microsoft 365 account’s display name and profile picture. It explains credential_id, email_group, account pooling, account separation, and attendee merging.
Authenticated and anonymous join guidance
content/docs/api-v2/authenticated-bots/teams/sending-authenticated-bots.mdx, content/docs/api-v2/authenticated-bots/teams/index.mdx, content/docs/api-v2/authenticated-bots/teams/setup.mdx
The documentation clarifies pinned identities, internal login labels, anonymous fallback naming, FAQs, and links to Teams login and bot creation references.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

The new pooling guidance can allow accounts with different visible profile pictures to be treated as interchangeable, causing inconsistent branded identity for Teams participants. Update the guidance to require matching display names and profile pictures.

Poem

A rabbit checks the Teams guide with care
Microsoft names now shine in the air
Pinned accounts hop where identities steer
Guest fallback names make intent clear
Separate accounts keep attendees fair

Repeat for each account. Logins sharing an `email_group` form a round-robin pool — add more logins to increase concurrent capacity (each login handles up to 20 concurrent sessions by default).

If visible identity matters, group only accounts with interchangeable Microsoft 365 display names. For a deterministic identity, pass the intended login's `credential_id` when you [create the bot](/docs/api-v2/reference/bots/createBot).

Require matching display names and profile pictures for identity-preserving pools.

The selected Teams identity includes both fields, so matching display names alone can produce different visible avatars.
