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
ChrisHoardMVP I'm the admin. I own the business. I don't have access to this admin panel. I assume it's because I'm using the free service.

ChrisHoardMVP I found this regarding the full admin panel:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/manage-freemium
So yes without this access Microsoft Team users can't enable this bot using the free plan. Thanks for your help! I mostly needed to confirm the bot still exists and resides behind a paywall!
