Last time I checked it was not possible through Teams API call for video conferences, although it is pretty easy to set up a chat bot in Teams with a custom Copilot. I'd say that it looked more feasible through a plugin for Google Meet but there are too many hoops. I'd expect that to be reserved either for the host platforms or for selected partners.


I can't imagine someone doing this would be doing it through an official integration; it's much more likely to be a virtual webcam, which is compatible with anything.


Give us a few weeks and this will be possible!



I didn't mean the video impersonation, I was referring to the possibility of making a synthetic bot automatically attend a conference call like a regular user without using a desktop camera simulation or stuff like that.

It's not a matter of AI, it's a matter of how Teams or Meet or Zoom allow programmatic access to the video and audio streams (the presence APIs for attending a meeting are mostly there, I think).


You could hack this together now with OBS and Tavus.


using OBS software you can create a virtual web cam of whatever you want
