[Rep Guide] Using Microsoft Teams in the AI Sidekick

Your recorded Teams calls appear in the AI Sidekick on their own, with a recap, the key points, and your next steps already pulled out. There is nothing for you to connect or turn on. An Account Admin connects Teams once for the whole company.

ℹ️ Note: only calls that were transcribed in Teams reach Spekit. If nobody started transcription or recording, there is nothing to bring in.

 

1. Find your calls

Open the AI Sidekick. Your calls sit under Recent calls, with a count beside the heading.

Each call shows you 4 things at a glance.

On the cardWhat it tells you
The call titleTaken from the Teams meeting title
A people countHow many were on the call
A lengthHow long it ran
A dateWhen it happened, as a date or as "last Friday at 2:13pm" for recent ones

ℹ️ Note: the AI Sidekick also runs inside Microsoft Teams itself, as a Spekit tab. You do not have to leave Teams to read a call.

 

2. Open a call

Select View details on any call. It opens in place and shows 4 sections.

SectionWhat you get
ParticipantsEveryone on the call, as chips. Some show a name, some an email address, depending on what Teams had
Call recapA short paragraph on what the call was about
Key pointsThe main topics, 1 line each
Next stepsWhat to do next, pulled from what was said

Each section collapses, so you can keep just the one you need open. Select Hide details to close the call again.

💡 Pro Tip: Next steps is the fastest way back into a deal after a few days away. It is usually shorter than the recap and more useful than the transcript.

 

3. See the calls on a deal

The AI Sidekick also groups calls by deal, which is more useful than a flat list when you are preparing for a specific conversation.

  1. Open All deals in the AI Sidekick.
  2. Select the account you want.
  3. You will see the deal name, its stage, and its close date.

Under that, you get a link to the deal's Deal Room, and a Review calls with [account name] section with a count and every call on that deal.

ℹ️ Note: this list shows every call on the deal, not only your Teams calls. If your company also uses Gong, Zoom, or Dialpad, those calls appear here too, each with its own icon.

 

4. How long it takes

Most calls appear within minutes. Microsoft controls the first part, so it is not instant.

StageHow long
Teams finishes the transcript after the meeting endsMicrosoft decides this. It varies
The call reaches Spekit after thatA few minutes
If Microsoft's notice did not reach usUp to 1 day, when the daily check runs

If a call is still missing after a day, see Troubleshooting the Microsoft Teams Integration.

 

5. Use cases

Here is what reps actually do with a Teams call once it is in the AI Sidekick.

Use caseHow to use it
Prepare for the next callRead Key points from the last one instead of the full transcript
Write the follow-up emailNext steps is usually the skeleton of the email already
Pick up a deal from a colleagueOpen the deal and read its call history, even the calls you were not on
Check what you promisedOpen Next steps rather than trusting your notes
Turn the call into deal contentAttach it as a source in the AI Content Builder and draft from what was said
Brief your managerSend them the Call recap instead of retelling the call

 

6. Best practices

These 4 habits decide whether your call arrives at all, so they are worth the few seconds they cost.

PracticeWhy it helps
Start transcription before the small talk endsThe recap is only as good as what was captured
Send a proper invite instead of forwarding the linkForwarded joiners do not count as attendees
Add the buyer as a Salesforce contact with an opportunity role before the callA call only joins a Deal Room if the contact and role already exist when the call arrives
Open the call the same dayNext steps is most useful while you still remember the conversation

💡 Pro Tip: if transcription was stopped and started again during the meeting, you may see the call twice. The first part arrives first, then the full call. Use the longer one.

 

7. Common questions

Do I need to connect my own Teams account? No. An Account Admin connects Teams once for the whole company.

Can I see a call I was not invited to? Not in your Recent calls. If the call matched a deal, you can see it on that deal and in its Deal Room.

Can my manager read my call transcripts? They see the calls attached to a Deal Room, like everyone else at your company.

Why do some participants show an email address instead of a name? Spekit shows what Teams had for that person. A guest who joined without a display name appears as their email address.

Will my old calls from before setup come in? No. Only meetings held after Teams was connected.
