.

To get the BOT_AZURE_APP_SERVICE_RESOURCE_ID for deploying your Azure Bot to an App Service, follow these steps:

.

• In the Azure portal, Navigate to your Azure App Service overview page, look for the "Properties" section.
• Here, you will find the Resource ID. It typically looks like this:

    /subscriptions/{subscription-id}/resourceGroups/{resource-group-name}/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/{app-service-name}
  

• Copy this Resource ID; this is your BOT_AZURE_APP_SERVICE_RESOURCE_ID.

Regarding Custom Teams Extensions

Yes, it is necessary to deploy your custom Teams extension (app) in order to use it in Microsoft Teams. Here’s why:

• Visibility and Access: Custom apps need to be uploaded to Teams to be accessible to users. Without deployment, users won't be able to find or use the app within Teams.
• Functionality: Deploying the app allows it to interact with Teams features, such as messaging extensions, bots, and tabs, ensuring that users can leverage the full functionality of your custom solution.

You can upload your custom app through the Teams admin center or allow users to upload it for personal use, depending on your organization's policies
