Change name of Bot tab in Teams application
Hello!
I'm constructing a Teams app with a bot service. When I add it to Teams, it shows the bot interaction under a tab named "Activity"
I would like to change it to display the name "Chat" as in the TeamsConversationBot example:
Has anyone been able to figure out how to rename the Teams tabs in the app manifest?
Thanks in advance
Here is the app manifest:

joseFaustinos - We have noticed that if your bot is notification-only bot i.e. if "isNotificationOnly": true, the tab shows as 'Activity'.
and if your bot is interactive (two-way communication) i.e. if "isNotificationOnly": false, the tab shows as 'Chat'.

joseFaustinos - Does your app has only Bot capability or is there any other capabilities like Tab or ME integrated?
