There's no official standalone Claude app for Microsoft Teams as of 2026. Plug and AI is the practical way to chat with Anthropic's Claude — Opus, Sonnet and Haiku — right in Teams, alongside GPT, Gemini and 300+ other models. Pay per use, no per-seat fees.
Free starter credit · No per-seat fees · Shared tenant balance
Short answer, as of 2026: no — there is no official standalone Claude app for Microsoft Teams from Anthropic. Here's the honest picture so you can decide what actually works for your team.
Anthropic's workspace chat product — the one you can tag in a channel (often referred to as "Claude Tag" or Claude in Slack) — launched on Slack. A Microsoft Teams version has been reported as in development, but Anthropic has not confirmed it and there is no announced release date as of 2026.
Anthropic ships a Microsoft 365 connector that lets Claude search your Teams messages, Outlook, SharePoint and OneDrive from inside claude.ai. But that connector is read-only — Claude can pull context from Teams, it can't post, reply or run a conversation inside Teams.
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.
Three steps, about a minute. No per-seat setup.
Add the app from the Microsoft Teams app store. Your tenant gets a free starter credit — no credit card required to try it.
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.
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.
Claude is a strong default for careful, document-heavy work. In Plug and AI for Teams it shines on:
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.
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.
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.
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.
Plug and AI is pay-per-use with no per-seat fees: $0/month fixed, AI provider rates plus a 10% service fee, drawn from a shared tenant balance you top up with Stripe. A team of 10 typically spends around $35/month.

As of 2026, no — there is no official standalone Claude app for Microsoft Teams from Anthropic. Claude's official workspace chat integration launched on Slack, and a Teams version has been reported as in development but is unconfirmed with no release date. Anthropic's Microsoft 365 connector can search Teams messages, but it's read-only and can't post or reply inside Teams. Plug and AI is a practical way to chat with Claude in Teams today.
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.
Plug and AI gives you the Claude family — Claude Opus, Claude Sonnet and Claude Haiku — inside Teams via OpenRouter, with Claude in the premium chain. 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.
Plug and AI is pay-per-use: $0/month fixed, AI provider rates plus a 10% service fee, from a shared tenant balance you top up with Stripe. No per-seat fees.

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.
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 plus a 10% service fee.
