Build a Microsoft Teams Meeting Bot with Skribby API (2025 Dev Guide)

#ai #microsoft #api #webdev

If you’ve ever dipped your toes into creating a custom Microsoft Teams bot, you know how tricky Graph API can get — think OAuth flows, meeting permissions, and WebRTC setup. But guess what? Skribby makes it way easier!

Skribby is a developer-first API built for creating meeting bots that can join calls, record audio/video, and transcribe everything in real-time. And the best part? It supports Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet — all through a single REST API!

Step 1: Create Your Teams Meeting Bot

Let's get started by sending a simple POST request to Skribby's /v1/bot endpoint. Here’s how you can use it:

curl -X POST https://api.skribby.io/v1/bot \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{\n "service": "teams",\n "meeting_url": "https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/...",\n "bot_name": "AI Notetaker",\n "transcription_model": "whisper",\n "lang": "en",\n "video": false\n }'

This instantly creates a bot that joins your Teams meeting, records the session, and transcribes along the way. You can pick from various transcription models like whisper, deepgram, or assembly-ai, depending on your needs!

Step 2: Monitor and Manage Your Bot

Once your bot is up and running, it’s time to monitor its status and transcripts. Here’s how:

curl -X GET "https://api.skribby.io/v1/bot/{id}?with-speaker-events=true" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

You’ll receive detailed JSON data that includes participants, speaker events, transcripts, and — when it’s all over — a recording_url. Skribby also supports WebSocket connections to provide real-time updates and webhooks for easy automation. 🚀

Step 3: Handle Recordings and Transcriptions

After your meeting, you’ll want to fetch your recording and transcript:
