I built a bot, enabled it for Skype with the option for Groups turned on.
When I chat 1-on-1 with the bot, it works fine, and it appears in my Contacts under "Bots"; but I can't add it to a group chat, it doesn't appear in the "Add People" list and even if I type /add my_bot_id Skype responds with my_bot_id can’t be added to this conversation due to his/her privacy settings.
What am I missing?
(edit: I'm using Skype for Mac, is that the problem...?)
From the bot chat tap the plus icon and add members. This will create a new group.

I try to write an app for Microsoft Teams which does include a Bot.
The bot should write a welcome message as soon as the app is installed by the user in his personal scope. Additionally I want to be informed when the user uninstalled an app.
There are events when a new user is added/removed to a team (onTeamsMemberAdded/onTeamsMemberRemoved) in which the bot is installed, but is there also something for the personal scope?
onTeamsMemberAdded should deal with personal scope as well, and it will enable you to send a welcome message. However, there is unfortunately no way to get notified when your bot is removed. onTeamsMemberRemoved only applies when your bot is part of a group chat, or channel, and only tells if other users have been removed. This is a missing feature in Teams right now.
I am unable to chat with teams bot i am getting message like "sending new messages to this bot has been disabled by your administrator in teams" instead of showing text box
I've also encountered my custom bot having the disabled presence, whilst the same bot on a different tenant had the available presence.
As suggested in the comments, you or your Teams admin need to check the box 'Allow interaction with custom apps':
Teams admin center
Team apps
Manage apps
Org-wide app settings
Check 'Allow interaction with custom apps'
I have enabled Skype channel for my bot which on top of chat window shows option to login. I am unable to login using my work ID, rather I could login with my personal Microsoft account.
I could not find much documentation on this. How can I enable bot so that bot users can login only with their work email id?
This is the expected behavior as Skype doesn't let you create an account anymore with a business email address. If you want to test your bot by connecting it to Skype channel, then you can use your personal account. The Skype for Business channel is specifically designed for the usage of work email ID but it is being deprecated on the Bot Framework. I would suggest you to connect the bot to Microsoft Teams to login using work email ID.
I use Azure to create my bot. The Telegram, Web and S4B channels works as expected, but the Skype channel doesn't work. I don't get any error.
To create the Skype channel I just click the "Add channel" link and add the new contact to my Skype contacts. Is it enough?
Could you please help me? Thank you.
If you want to connect Skype to your bot, all you need to do is click on the Skype option in the 'Add a featured channel' and then configure the settings in Web control, Messaging, Calling, Groups and Publish.
In your case, click on the 'Messaging' tab and make sure that the 'enable messaging' option is selected. Once your changes are saved, you can add the bot to your contacts and it will work.
Skype can take up to 15 minutes to propagate the settings changes. Wait for a few minutes before sending a message to the bot.
If it still doesn't work, delete the channel and again following the steps above to add the Skype channel to your bot. You can also use ngrok to debug any channel locally.
The source of issue was the turned off ciphers the my IIS:
When I turn on all of these my skype bot start to work.
I've created a bot (a simple echo bot) and deployed it to Azure. Everything works well now and I can talk to the bot in the desktop Skype client (Windows 10 app).
However, I can't seem to be able to add the bot to an existing group chat. When I click on the add button the list of contacts to add doesn't have my bot in it, which is weird because I've added it to my contacts.

^ According to that post I need to create a "private chat" with my bot and then I'll be able to add it to group chats, but I have no idea how to do that.
I haven't published my bot, but I did enable "Allow adding to a group" in bot settings on https://dev.botframework.com.
Any idea why it's not working?
Private chat is talking directly to your bot. If you have added it to your contacts, it should be easy to open a direct conversation with it by double clicking.
Then you can add people in the conversation using the top right button:
Then you will have your group chat working:
Note for other people asking the same question (but you already mentioned that you did it), don't forget to activate the group conversation for your bot in botframework portal, in Skype channel settings
