GitHub Copilot in Teams adds notifications and Copilot-driven issue-to-code workflow
GitHub released a new GitHub app for Microsoft Teams that delivers GitHub notifications into Teams channels and group chats and lets users turn issues into code fixes with GitHub Copilot without leaving Teams. The announcement was published on The GitHub Blog on 2026-10-23.
Why it matters
Teams users who track issues and pull requests in chat can now receive GitHub notifications there and start Copilot-assisted fixes from the same conversation, reducing context switching between chat and the repository.
Who should care
Engineering teams and developers using GitHub and Microsoft Teams; small online businesses that run their product code on GitHub.
What you can do
Install the GitHub app in Microsoft Teams, connect a repository, and route notifications for one active project channel to test the issue-to-fix workflow.
