Adding a Bot to MS Teams: Sending new messages to this bot has been disabled
I have created a QnA Bot in Azure, published it, and have attempted to open it in Microsoft Teams. However, when I do, I receive a message stating "Sending new messages to this bot has been disabled ...
scsh4 Are you starting a conversation with your QnA bot via its bot ID? That is, as opposed to its name, which requires creating and uploading a manifest/app package?
If so, there is a fix for this being rolled out but it hasn't hit our public version yet.
The workaround is to create an app package (easiest way is to use the App Studio app) and load your QnA bot that way, by name.
