You can add your bot for personal or team conversations to see it in action. A bot behaves slightly differently depending on what kind of conversation it's involved in: • Bots in channel and group chat conversations require the user to @ mention the bot to invoke it in a channel. • Bots in single user conversations don't require an @ mention - the user can just type.
Publish your bot in your organization's Teams Tenant App Catalog
You'll need to create your Teams package, add other capabilities, and submit it to AppSource. There are two methods for uploading your app: You can either use App Studio to help you, or you can manually create an app package and upload your app. If you need to alter your manifest and reupload your app, you should delete your bot before uploading your altered app package.
