Adding "groupchat" scope for MSteam bots

Question

Jyothis 6

We have created a bot using Botframework (https://dev.botframework.com/bots/new). We send the messages to the bot using the "SERVICE_URL/v3/conversations/" API.
Service url is https://smba.trafficmanager.net/amer/, https://smba.trafficmanager.net/emea/ etc
can you please let us know how the "groupchat" scope can be added/enabled for this bot, so that we can this bot to a team or groups?

You can add scopes in your manifest. Scopes specifies whether the bot offers an experience in the context of a channel in a team, in a group chat (groupchat), or an experience scoped to an individual user alone (personal). These options are non-exclusive.

The bot was directly created in the web interface (https://dev.botframework.com/bots/new) and the channel Microsoft teams was added to it. Where can we find the related manifest for bots created like this?
