Answer/Talk to Bot in MS-Teams without tagging the bot

Hi All
When talking to a bot in MS-Teams the user must tag the bot "@BotName" before writing a message to that bot
When using WebEx there is an option to create a "GI" (Guest Issuer) and in that case there is not need to tag the bot for every message

Is there a way to do the same in MS-Teams?
Is there a plan to develop such a feature?

Our customers are asking for this feature as it is very un-comfortable to tag the bot for every message you send to it

Thanks

    You can use RSC, using which you can request team owners to consent for a bot to receive user messages across standard channels in a team without being @mentioned.

    Please check this doc for more details - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/bots/how-to/conversations/channel-messages-with-rsc?tabs=dotnet, https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples/tree/main/samples/bot-receive-channel-messages-withRSC

    Please note that this feature is currently available in Public Developer Preview only.
