Find notification at Azure/ Skype chanel seting "As of October 31, 2019 the Skype channel will no longer be accepting new Bot registrations. Current Skype bots will continue to run uninterrupted."
Does it mean my current bot will not work after date?
I have a few Azure Bot Channels which connected with skype.
It means exactly what it says it means. Last month, Skype for Business was deprecated, in that you can no longer add it as a channel. If you look at the channel icons on your bot channels registration, it is no longer there.
Skype will do much of the same, after 31 Oct 2019. The icon will simply not be there for people to add their bots to Skype. BUT! Unlike Skype for Business, which has an actual end date (where bot will no longer work), Skype bots WILL work after that date, you simply will not be able to add any NEW bots to that particular channel.

We have a notification only teams bot that is live for a number of customers in production.
Most of the time when it is installed it calls our messaging endpoint and updates the conversation ID so we can send teams notifications to our customers, however sometimes it seems to fail to do this for some reason so our systems don’t get a conversation ID.
We tried incrementing the version number of the teams bot and that didn’t seem to help.
Is there some way to get the conversation ID updated after initial installation?
Answer after contacting Microsoft Support is that it is impossible. The best solution is to have a non-notification only bot and then it works as you'd expect.
I am testing a chat bot (built using MS bot framework) in MS teams. The bot is designed for one on one chat but I want to make it available to a group of testers. As such, I've created a team and added the testers as members and the bot as an app. According to the MS documentation my understanding was that if the bot manifest included 'personal' in the scope then any team member should be able to start one on one chat with the bot. However, when searching for the bot in the "to" field of the Chat window some team member can find the bot and others can't. My first thought was that there was delay between when a person was added to the team and when they could access the bot in a one on one chat. But that doesn't seem to be the case. Is there something else I've overlooked that would prevent the bot from showing up for some team members but not others?
#Moe Adding the Bot to a team does not make the bot available to all the members of the team in personal scope. It is still in the teams scope and all the team members will be able to access the bot in the team only. A member of the team should either install the app in personal scope or click on the chat icon by hovering on the bot name in team and click on "Add"
#Gousia-MSFT's answer got me part way to a solution. When hovering over the bot's icon in the Teams chat I didn't get an option to 'add' the bot. However, there was an option to 'chat' with the bot:
. Using the text box or clicking the chat icon starts (or continues) a one on one conversation with the bot.
I have developed a bot in MS Teams and i want to fetch the channel Ids where the bot is installed and can send the messages.
Any ideas how to do this, thanks a lot
You can only really do this when there's an interaction from the user, so for example when the user sends your bot a message. The best time of all, however, is when your bot is actually installed, because then you have it right from the beginning. You use the ConversationUpdate event, as described here.
If it's too late for that (your bot is installed already), then I'm only aware of waiting for the next message - I'm not sure if it's possible to get things like the conversation id another way.
I developed a welcome bot using the Microsoft Bot Framework. I want to add it to Teams. In teams I want the bot to send welcome messages to only certain members belonging to a particular team or group. Please provide me advice or steps how to do it.
You can only send a welcome message to a specific user if that user first contacted your bot. This is done purposefully to minimize the possibility of spam bots being created. Once a user has contacted your bot you can capture the user's Id and, coupled with the conversationId, you can send future (proactive) messages.
When I try to re-submit my Skype channel Web App bot for review I got an error on the Microsoft Azure portal. "CorrelationID: |OgnX4.RKq/h.ee42bd69_"
The value after the colon always change, the above is only an example.
