@Rushikesh Anilkumar Goski I would recommend going through these courses if you are planning to use teams bot. AFAIK if you create a bot using the mentioned sample you can integrate teams as a channel provider, but it would have limited capabilities. I hope this helps!!

Could you please refer this sample (https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples/tree/main/samples/bot-conversation/python) and documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/bot-service/provision-and-publish-a-bot?view=azure-bot-service-4.0&tabs=userassigned%2Ccsharp) which explains the code structure and provisioning and publishing a Teams bot with bot framework?

@Prasad-MSFT don't we have any other way to do it like using the Azure extension in VSCODE and deploy it on the particular app service directly? In the documentation, they asked us to use Azure CLI specifically which I find little complex to understand the whole process.

Hello @Prasad-MSFT , I went through the documentation previously and I find it little difficult to use Azure CLI and understand the whole process. Don't we have another way like by using Azure's extension on VSCODE and deploying it there directly? I tried to do that but unfortunately, it's throwing errors all time.
