Demos

• How to build a good vibes generator bot for Microsoft Teams – send positive affirmations to Teams’ users. Design goals: Secret-less (uses managed identity), server-less (Azure cloud), and open source. Architecture – uses Azure Functions, a bot, assembles vibe from phrases stored in Cosmos DB, and sends as Adaptive Card into a Teams conversation. 2 types of interactions (entry points) for bot to get vibes (listening to messages (@mention) or based on a schedule (durable function).
• Building a movie voting experience as Microsoft Teams meeting app – using Teams stageView and real-time collaboration based on FluidFramework. Scenario: Vote on movies, identify audience favorite, and watch it in stageView. Meeting owner Schedules a Teams meeting, adds the “Tab Meeting Vote Movie Fluid” app, and inserts up to 3 movie options in app. Meeting participants see movie options in right sidebar. Voting results are updated nearly instantaneously. Better synchronization to come with Teams Live Share.
