"You cannot send messages to this bot", chat with bot issue in microsoft teams
we have connected "azure bot" to microsoft teams; however, during this 2 days some users unable to send message to the chatbot and obtain "You cannot send messages to this bot" in chatbox which block...
I had the same issue. Microsoft Support Rep adviced the following: go to https://admin.teams.microsoft.com/ 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?
Well 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.
- Same 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...- OK, 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.
ViniciusFonseca it still doesn't work for me.
- Yeah, its quite bad and thats when MS has been promoting Teams, copilot and Azure bots with AI. They need wake up. I don’t understand why its not a system outage for them.
