Same issue, but only on the New Teams (23285.3604.2469.4152), for all bots.
This has been going for a few months, now. Only when using the new Teams.
The quick message through the "Contacts" menu works, as tokarczyk_jacek mentioned.

I had the same issue. Microsoft Support Rep adviced the following: go to Microsoft Teams admin center and open Teams App Setup Policy, click "Global" and then turn on "Upload Custom Apps" button. New Teams now is working fine. Did anyone try the same?
- bbagariaNov 03, 2023Copper ContributorWell my bot is not even deployed to the team app center. Its just used via direct teams link. So that would not work. We don’t really want to upload custom app during development.
- ViniciusFonsecaNov 06, 2023Brass ContributorSame case here. The bot is not deployed yet. We're using the testing links directly. Maybe they broke Teams with this new policy option.
Also, it started today to also happen on classical Teams. Now nobody can exchange messages with any bots. Dang...- ViniciusFonsecaNov 06, 2023Brass ContributorOK, enabling custom apps for my user on Teams Admin console fixed it for me on both - new Teams and classic Teams, even for bots that aren't deployed yet. This is the way, it seems.
