I have a Custom Bot set up via using these instructions.
The Bot is set up and successfully working in a Team when it is #Mentioned from a Teams desktop client or the web interface. When the Bot is #Mentioned from a Teams mobile client however, it does not respond.
I added logging to my webhook and have found that it does not seem to be triggered when #Mentions from a mobile client are sent.
Is there a bug here or are #Mentions from mobile devices not supported?
Invoking custom bots from mobile devices is not currently supported. I wish we had a good reason, but we don't; it fell through the cracks. Thanks for bringing it to our attention and reminding us about it.
We don't have an ETA for when it will be supported, but we do intend to support it.

I'm trying to have the bot emulator running on my website, so the user can add cards & contact and test it from the website.
The Emulator is built on the WebChat application/source code. WebChat is a directline client for the directline channel. The emulator is used for development and testing. You can use webchat as a way to test, but you're not going to get some of the tools/benefits you get from Emulator. You might be able to take the emulator source code and build what you need, but that seems like a lot of work for so little benefit.
Your bot code does not have to be hosted in Azure, but for the simplest setup, you should create a bot channels registration in Azure and use that. Configure that to set your endpoint to wherever your bot code is running and then use the webchat channel and client.
I have a requirement that my bot should receive a notification from an external system and then it needs to send notification to Teams' logged in user's activity feed.
I followed https://github.com/microsoft/BotBuilder-Samples/tree/master/samples/csharp_dotnetcore/16.proactive-messages, it works on emulator. I deployed above app on on-premise IIS server (with https support) and then registered on https://dev.botframework.com/ by providing botid generated through MSTeams App builder. Now, when I sideloaded this bot in MS Teams, it does not send proactive message.
I am new to Bot framework hence steps by steps instructions and sample code will be much appreciated.
You haven't given a lot of detail in your question about your actual setup, or the code you're using, so it's hard to really answer, but I have posted a few time recently about pro-active messaging. Here's one with a bunch of detail, in C#, so hopefully it can help: Programmatically sending a message to a bot in Microsoft Teams - just see my answer in that page. If that doesn't help, please try describe your current scenario better, and what you've tried.
I am working on a Xamarin App in which we need to have a feature as Open chat room or discussion room. I was exploring the slack api and interested to integrate the slack api in the App.
My clarification is, on integrating slack client api in the app, whether chat feature will be enabled? Whether my app registered users can utilize the slack chat room ? Or do the app registered users has also to register in the slack?
The Slack API is not much use if you do not plan to work with the core Slack application as well. So if you are just looking to extend your own app with a chat features, the Slack API will not help you much. To utilize the Slack chat features, you need to setup your own Slack team and your users will need to register on the Slack team and use it. The Slack API mainly enables one to build automation and bots around a Slack team.
QuickBlox is another 3rd-party SDK that you can use.

I have a chatbot created with the MS bot framework. It works great in Telegram, on the portal, facebook messenger, and the emulator - but the Web Chat doesn't work.
It will connect and let me type things in, but none of the responses get back to the web chat window. I even see the message coming in and being sent back from my chatbot in the server logs, but somehow it doesn't make its way back to the web chat.
Any idea why?
The bot is called WffBot, and the web chat link is here.
It turned out that I had the address and name in the from section of the JSON of the response switched. While, for whatever reason, none of the other messaging systems minded this, the WebChat just ignores the responses.
I am looking to use Microsoft Bot Framework in my application. However, I have a custom UI chat control (designed according to my requirements) where I need to hook up this bot.(instead of having pre-configured channels like slack or skype).
Is there a client sdk for web (preferably in angular) and/or mobile available for this purpose?
Take a look at DirectLine.
The Direct Line API is a simple REST API for connecting directly to a single bot. This API is intended for developers writing their own client applications, web chat controls, or mobile apps that will talk to their bot.
DirectLine is always a good option to add chat functionality in your custom UI. Otherwise you can just turn on Web Chat channel and embed iframe in your webpage. This will make your job easy with very less errors.
I have seen directline causing many issues while sending requests. Web Chat is always a better option.
