A new Microsoft 365 Roadmap item has appeared in the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, it says that a new clear visual representation of a bot joining a Teams meeting while they wait in the lobby will be available since May 2026:

Microsoft Teams: Identify bots joining your Teams meetings

During Teams meetings, if there is an external 3P bot trying to join the meeting, organizers will be able to see a clear representation of the bots while they wait in the lobby. Organizers will be required to explicitly and separately admit these bots into the meeting, if really required. This approach will ensure that no one inadvertently accepts the external bots into the meeting ensuring that the organizers have full control over the presence of these bots.

This is a good move, my most popular posts here talk about on how to prevent this bots from joining Teams meetings:

Although it will require a manual step from the organizers of the meetings, it is good that the bots will be differentiated from regular users, let’s see what the future roadmap items bring to better recognize this type of AI note takers.
