Does Claude Have an Official Microsoft Teams App?
Short answer, as of October 2026: no — there is no official Claude app you can install in Microsoft Teams, and Claude Tag for Teams is waitlist-only with no release date. Here's the honest picture so you can decide what actually works for your team.
Claude's official chat integration is Slack-first
Anthropic's workspace chat product, Claude Tag — Claude you can tag in a channel — launched on Slack in beta on June 23, 2026, for Claude Team and Enterprise plans. Anthropic has confirmed that Claude Tag is coming to Microsoft Teams and runs a waitlist, but as of October 2026 there is no release date, no beta and nothing to install in Teams yet.
The Microsoft 365 connector is not Claude Tag in Teams
Anthropic ships a Microsoft 365 connector that lets Claude.ai search your Teams messages, Outlook, SharePoint and OneDrive. If your admin has enabled write tools, Claude.ai can also send a Teams chat message or post/reply in a channel (you confirm each send). That is still Claude talking to Teams from claude.ai — not Claude Tag living inside Teams as a channel teammate you can @mention.
Where Plug and AI fits
Plug and AI is a Microsoft Teams app (live in the Teams marketplace) that lets your team chat with Claude directly in Teams — 1:1 or by @mention in a channel. It reaches Claude via OpenRouter, so you get the Claude family and 300+ other models in one bot, without waiting for an official Anthropic release.
How to Get Claude in Microsoft Teams with Plug and AI
Three steps, about a minute. No per-seat setup.
Install Plug and AI from the Teams marketplace
Add the app from the Microsoft Teams app store. Your tenant gets a free starter credit — no credit card required to try it.
Open a 1:1 chat or @mention in a channel
Message the bot directly for a private conversation, or @mention Plug and AI in any channel to bring Claude into a group discussion. You also get a personal tab to check your tenant's balance, usage and default model chain.
Ask for Claude — and switch models any time
Name the model in your message (for example "use Claude Opus"), or set a per-tenant default chain so Claude answers by default. Switch to GPT, Gemini or Grok mid-conversation whenever another model fits the job better.
What Claude Is Best At in Teams
Claude is a strong default for careful, document-heavy work. In Plug and AI for Teams it shines on:
Long documents & PDFs
Attach a PDF, HTML file or image in a 1:1 chat and ask Claude to read, summarize or extract from it. Claude handles long-context material well.
Careful reasoning & writing
Nuanced drafting, editing and step-by-step analysis where you want a measured, well-structured answer rather than a quick guess.
Vision & file analysis
Understand screenshots, diagrams and scanned pages. Ask Claude what a chart shows or to pull the key points from an uploaded file.
Claude itself doesn't generate images. In Plug and AI, image generation is handled by image-capable models such as Gemini — Claude covers reading and reasoning over images, not creating them.
Claude + 300 Other Models, One Teams Bot
Locking your Teams tenant to a single model family means paying for one vendor's strengths and weaknesses. Plug and AI keeps Claude available and lets you reach for another model the moment it fits better — no second app, no second bill.
Switch when another model fits
Draft with Claude Sonnet, get a second opinion from GPT, pull a web-grounded answer from Gemini, or hand a coding question to DeepSeek — all in the same Teams conversation.
One tenant, one balance
Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Llama, Mistral and 300+ more draw from a single shared tenant balance. Set a per-tenant default chain so the team gets a sensible model without thinking about it.
See the full lineup on the models page.
Pricing: Claude in Teams, the Math
Plug and AI is pay-per-use with no per-seat fees: $0/month fixed, usage-based rates (details on the pricing page), drawn from a shared tenant balance you top up with Stripe. You pay for what your team actually uses; free models cost $0.

Install Plug and AI from the Teams marketplace, open a 1:1 chat with the bot or @mention it in a channel, and name a Claude model ("use Claude Opus"). Plug and AI routes your message to Claude and returns the reply in Teams. You get a free starter credit to begin.
Which Claude models can I use in Teams?
Plug and AI gives you the Claude family — Claude Opus, Claude Sonnet and Claude Haiku — inside Teams via OpenRouter, with its own claude chain (Haiku 5.5 → Sonnet 5.5 → Opus 5.5). You also get GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek and 300+ other models in the same bot, switchable per message. See the models page for the full list.
How much does Claude in Teams cost?
Plug and AI is pay-per-use: $0/month fixed, usage-based rates (details on the pricing page), from a shared tenant balance you top up with Stripe. No per-seat fees; free models cost $0.

Can Claude read PDFs in Microsoft Teams?
Yes. Attach a PDF, image or HTML file in a 1:1 chat with Plug and AI and ask Claude to analyze it — summaries, extraction, Q&A over the contents. Claude is strong at long documents and vision. Note that Claude doesn't generate images; image generation in Plug and AI uses image-capable models such as Gemini.
Does Plug and AI for Teams charge per seat?
No. There are no per-seat fees and no seat minimum. Your whole Microsoft Teams tenant shares one balance and you pay only for the AI usage (details on the pricing page).
