Was the Who bot discontinued?
It's not included in the current Microsoft Teams client and also not listed in the apps store.
- Hi exfileme
I just spun up a free tenant of Microsoft Teams with an existing outlook account and can confirm that the Who app does not appear in the free version I did a compare with a new paid version. It looks to be a limitation of the free version - the Who bot does not appear under bots whatsover and there is no /who slash command in the command bar.
Would be good if there was documentation around this! None on any MS documentation concerning who.
That is the solution - upgrade to the paid version in order to get the Who application and access to the Teams Admin Centre to manage it.
Best, Chris

Has it been blocked by an app permission policy by your admin in the Teams admin centre? Are you in your tenant and not in another as a guest? These could be possible reasons your not seeing it
Let me know
Best, ChrisChrisHoardMVP It's an entirely new team I created for my company. The bot isn't even listed in the store. Someone else mentioned that he hasn't seen it for a year. Perhaps it's not available for new accounts/installs?
It is 100% there
1.) I have just checked on a newly deployed GA tenant
2.) If it's not showing in your store at all it is very likely that your administrator has either blocked the Who app specifically in the Microsoft Teams admin centre or blocked all third party apps. See screenshot, again from a newly deployed GA tenantCan you check with your admin and confirm? I have a strong feeling this is the case and the app is blocked in your tenant
Best, Chris
