I am trying to test a co pilot plugin in local. For some reason the local plugin is not showing up in the co pilot chat.

I've been trying to test out Copilot Plugin integration with Teams Search Command Message Extensions based on this tutorial https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/sbs-messagingextension-searchcommand-plugin?tutorial-step=2

I can deploy the message extension and it functions correctly when used in chats. However it doesn't show up when searching in the search bar nor does Copilot seem to be able to use it (even though I have enabeld the plugin the copilot chat). Do I have to do something special to enable the use of the plugin in copilot? and is there a way that I can guarantee it's being called from there ?

    Hello @Jeffrey Cho,

    Thanks for reaching Microsoft.

    As per documentation, plugins for Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 are in preview and only work in Microsoft 365 Chat in Microsoft Teams. Also, good description offers a clear and concise summary of the app’s features and allows Copilot for Microsoft 365 to efficiently discover and execute search operations. Please enters the app name along with a verb, for example, Find Contoso tickets, the message extension plugin must be invoked from Copilot for Microsoft 365 (M365 Chat).

    Please follow the guidelines from the below document to render an app as a plugin in Copilot for Microsoft 365, and to suit the plugin requirements.

    Hope this helps.
