Can't access bot inside shared channel
I've built an application for the Microsoft Teams app and published it in my organization using the Developer portal.
I want to access the bot inside a team's shared channel but cannot do so. I've also provided "sharedChannels" inside the supportedChannelTypes property in the manifest but still, it isn't working.
The manifest of my application looks somewhat like this:
{

Meghana-MSFT Thanks for the information.

Anuj_Pratap_Singh_0210 - We tried this at our end, but we are not able to @mention the bot, are you also experiencing the same problem?

Anuj_Pratap_Singh_0210 - We checked this internally. Please note that it is a limitation of shared channel. Currently Bots, connectors, and message extensions are not supported in shared channel.
Thanks,
Meghana
