# Widget tab ## Overview Host a small HTML page that loads the [agent widget](/guides/elevenagents-customization-widget) and surface it as a **Teams tab**. Users open the tab and talk to the agent in the Teams client — no phone number or telephony. This is the lightest-weight approach; use it for internal self-service assistants and demos.

The ElevenLabs agent widget open in a Microsoft Teams tab

The agent widget running in a Teams tab ## How it works The widget is a web component. Teams renders a tab’s `contentUrl` inside a webview (iframe), so the widget runs exactly as it would on a website — including microphone capture, provided the page is allowed to embed in Teams and is granted media permission.

Teams user opens a tab whose webview iframes a hosted page running the ElevenLabs agent widget, which streams audio to ElevenLabs

Widget embedded in a Teams tab :::callout{intent="note"} Teams will **not** execute a raw ` ``` Deploy it to your HTTPS host and confirm it loads and the mic works in a normal browser first. :::callout{intent="note"} If your workspace is on a [data residency](/guides/overview-administration-data-residency) environment, add the widget’s `server-location` attribute so it connects to your region — see [widget customization](/guides/elevenagents-customization-widget) for the supported values. ::: :::callout{intent="tip"} Test the page standalone in a browser before touching Teams. If the mic doesn’t work there, it won’t work in the Teams webview either. ::: ## Step 2 — Add it to Teams You have two options, in increasing order of reliability for voice. ### Option A — Website tab (quickest, may be link-only) In a chat or channel, **+ Add a tab → Website**, paste your HTTPS URL, and save. :::callout{intent="warning"} The built-in **Website** tab sometimes opens the page as an external link rather than embedding it — and even when embedded, microphone access in the Teams desktop webview can be blocked. If voice fails, use Option B. ::: ### Option B — Custom tab app (recommended for voice) A tiny custom Teams app declares the page as a static tab **and** requests media permission, which is what makes the microphone work reliably inside Teams. :::::steps :::step{title="Create the manifest"} Create `manifest.json`. Replace `your-domain.com` with your host and set a unique GUID for `id`: ```json title="manifest.json" { "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/teams/v1.19/MicrosoftTeams.schema.json", "manifestVersion": "1.19", "version": "1.0.0", "id": "11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111", "developer": { "name": "ElevenLabs", "websiteUrl": "https://your-domain.com", "privacyUrl": "https://your-domain.com/privacy", "termsOfUseUrl": "https://your-domain.com/terms" }, "name": { "short": "Voice Agent", "full": "ElevenLabs Voice Agent" }, "description": { "short": "ElevenLabs voice agent", "full": "Embedded ElevenLabs voice agent" }, "icons": { "outline": "outline.png", "color": "color.png" }, "accentColor": "#000000", "staticTabs": [ { "entityId": "voice-agent", "name": "Voice Agent", "contentUrl": "https://your-domain.com/agent-widget.html", "websiteUrl": "https://your-domain.com/agent-widget.html", "scopes": ["personal"] } ], "devicePermissions": ["media"], "validDomains": ["your-domain.com", "unpkg.com", "elevenlabs.io", "*.elevenlabs.io"] } ``` The key fields for voice are **`devicePermissions: ["media"]`** (microphone) and listing every domain the page touches in **`validDomains`** (`unpkg.com` for the widget script, `*.elevenlabs.io` for the agent). ::: :::step{title="Package the app"} Add a `color.png` (192×192) and `outline.png` (32×32, transparent) next to the manifest, then zip the manifest and the two icons at the **root** of the archive: ```bash zip -j voice-agent.zip manifest.json color.png outline.png ``` ::: ::::step{title="Upload and open"} In Teams: **Apps → Manage your apps → Upload an app → Upload a custom app**, select `voice-agent.zip`, then open the **Voice Agent** tab and grant microphone access when prompted. :::callout{intent="tip"} Teams admins can skip the client UI and publish the app to the whole org from PowerShell — it then shows up for everyone under **Apps → Built for your org**: ```powershell Connect-MicrosoftTeams New-TeamsApp -DistributionMethod organization -Path ./voice-agent.zip ``` ::: If no prompt appears, open the tab’s dropdown and choose **App permissions** to grant microphone access manually:

If you control response headers, set: ```http Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'self' https://teams.microsoft.com https://*.teams.microsoft.com https://*.cloud.microsoft; ``` If Teams keeps opening the page in a browser instead of embedding it, the page is being blocked from iframe embedding — fix the CSP / `X-Frame-Options` on your host. ## Troubleshooting :::accordion{title="The tab opens the page in a browser instead of embedding it"} The page is blocked from being iframed. Remove any `X-Frame-Options: DENY/SAMEORIGIN` and set the `frame-ancestors` CSP shown above to allow the Teams domains. The custom tab app (Option B) is also more reliable than the built-in Website tab. ::: :::accordion{title="The widget loads but the microphone doesn't work"} This is the Teams webview permission layer. Use the **custom tab app** with `"devicePermissions": ["media"]`, and grant the app microphone permission in Teams (tab dropdown → **App permissions**). Teams web and Teams desktop behave differently — test both. As a fallback, offer an “Open in browser” link. ::: :::accordion{title="The widget never appears"} Confirm the agent is **public** with authentication disabled (agent **Advanced** settings), and that `unpkg.com` and `*.elevenlabs.io` are in the manifest `validDomains`. ::: ## Useful links - [Widget customization](/guides/elevenagents-customization-widget) - [Teams tab requirements](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/tabs/how-to/tab-requirements) - [Create a personal tab](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/tabs/how-to/create-personal-tab) - [Teams device permissions](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/concepts/device-capabilities/native-device-permissions) ## Related pages - [Administration](./administration-index.md) - [API reference](./api-reference-index.md) - [Changelog](./changelog-index.md) - [ElevenAgents](./elevenagents-index.md) - [ElevenAPI](./elevenapi-index.md) - [ElevenCreative](./elevencreative-index.md) - [ElevenLabs Documentation Docs](../index.md) - [General Troubleshooting FAQ](./troubleshooting-index.md) - [General Website FAQ](./website-index.md) - [Help Center](./help-center-2-index.md) # Agent Instructions Cite this page’s canonical URL and keep its documentation version.
